Ideally Located With Excellent Facilities

Based on the restored section of a landfill site, adjacent to an operational landfill and materials recovery facility, Carymoor Environmental Trust offers a unique educational facility. The buildings at the Centre are a fine example of sustainability and form the starting point and base for all our activities.
