Waste Minimisation

This term primary 5N and primary 6 are responsible for waste minimisation in our school.  This was the old 3 R Warriors responsibility.  

WHY should we recycle?

– All the plastic bottles you put into the normal rubbish bin end up going to the tip.  At the tip the rubbish is either burned or buried in the ground.  Many plastics don’t break down very easily when put into the ground and so will stay around for years.

– If we recycle our bottles by putting  them into the blue recycling bins around the school we are making sure those bottles and cans are destined for a brighter future! 

We can’t keep burying and burning rubbish forever!

Remember to –

*                Take the lid off your bottle before you put it in the recycling bin.

*                The lid can be recycled too!

*                If you can, try to rinse the bottles out before putting them into    the bin.  The bins might get a bit sticky if we don’t!

*                Please empty any juice you don’t want into a sink.

*                Reuse the bottle if you can.  You might fill it up again with water or take it home and make it into something.
