Dennis the Dustcart visits Blaenau Gwent Schools to help schoolchildren learn about waste and recycling

Dennis the Dustcart refuse collection vehicle (RCV) will look very familiar from the outside, as it has the appearance of a normal waste collection truck.  However, the truck opens up to reveal space on board for around 15 children to participate in lessons, with TV screens and whiteboards further adding to the classroom setting. 

This mobile education centre vehicle will be visiting Blaenau Gwent schools to show and teach children about waste and recycling, climate change, sustainability subjects and many other topics related to key environmental issues.

Watch out for Dennis the RCV this week, you can’t miss the brightly coloured graphics decorating the outside. It will be visiting the following schools:
