YOUNGSTERS have been learning about Bahamas Waste with an increasing number of school tours of the facility in New Providence.

In the past few weeks, fourth grade students from St Andrew’s and students from Columbus Primary have been taught about the types of waste handled by the company, including solid, liquid, medical waste, bio-diesel and cardboard recycling. The students also participated in games, in which they won prizes for answering questions on recycling and waste removal.

“The tour was enlightening and of high interest for our students,” said Sonia Storr, Guidance Counsellor at Columbus Primary.

“We appreciate the fact that Bahamas Waste has always supported our efforts in exposing our students to the various job options in the waste management business. The staff at Bahamas Waste were extremely informative and patient with students and made the experience very enjoyable.”

During their visits, the students were excited to see the “Big Pink Truck” and learned about the importance of early cancer screening.
