Cairey the Caddy is back!!
Help us fight climate change and be in with the chance of winning a £50 East Ayrshire gift card.
A whopping 69% of food waste in East Ayrshire is not being recycled.
To encourage more people to recycle their food waste, the EAC Sustainability & Climate Change Team has launched a new recycling at home campaign – Dinnae forget your Caddy!
The campaign was successfully rolled out last year in schools and ECCs across East Ayrshire but now the team need your help to raise Community Caddy Counts.
Support the campaign by naming your caddy (Caddy McCaddyface is absolutely acceptable) and register the name online
Write the name in permanent marker on your caddy, then all you have to do is present your caddy each week to be entered into the ‘Favourite Caddy of the Month’ draw.
The monthly draw will run from November through to May, and the recycling crews will select one ‘named’ caddy at random to win a £50 East Ayrshire gift card.
You could also encourage your neighbours, family and friends to take part in the campaign and make it a bit competitive. Let us know if you encourage anyone to start recycling
EAC Waste crews will begin monitoring the number and names/designs of kerbside caddies from 4th November.
At the end of November, EAC Sustainability & Climate Change team will let you know:
Thank you for your support!
Mauchline PS Active Travellers

Windy the Wind turbine’s Top Tips for this month…
Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is the UK’s largest inter-school walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling challenge. It inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.
The event aims to encourage more families to travel to school actively and help create healthier and happier communities.
This is also a great opportunity to boost our S-miles on our Journey to Jupiter too!! Remember we count all family members who are walking, cycling and scooting to school for our Bonus S-miles!
DINNAE FORGET YOUR CADDY!
We are taking part in East Ayrshire Council’s Food Waste Recycling Initiative called Dinnae Forget Your Caddy! We are trying to encourage our community to –
Can you help us reduce food waste? Here’s how it works…
Can you please remember to put out your caddy every week for collection and help us raise our Caddy Count in Mauchline?
As part of this initiative we ran a school competition to name our own school Caddy and the winner is…
Brodie Adams in Primary 4. Well done Brodie!
He came up with the idea of calling the Caddy

“Recycle YOUR FOOD!!”
As part of Windy the Wind Turbine’s Workforce we participate in challenges to reduce/save energy… we can collect 8 wind turbine parts which assemble to make a Windy Turbine and gain a Windy Trophy for our school. We currently have 3 parts and are working towards gaining the fourth part! 
This is Windy’s Top Tip for February!!
This session we are working towards EAC’s Clean Green Award. Our classes and school committees are working hard to make Mauchline PS & ECC and our village a climate friendly environment and there will be many activities and initiatives happening across the school throughout the year.
One of these initiatives is EAC’s Power Down initiative. The aim of Power Down is to build a strong community of energy saving champions across East Ayrshire centres, schools, homes and communities.
Mauchline PS & ECC have signed up to join Windy the Wind Turbine’s Workforce. Each month we participate in energy awareness/reducing challenges. When we complete each challenge we can collect 8 wind turbine parts which assemble to make a Windy Turbine and gain a Windy Trophy for our school. We hope Windy can come to visit us at Mauchline too!
Windy has some hints/tips to help us with our challenges. These will be posted here every month…
