Dedridge Does Eco

Primary 7 are excited to announce that Dedridge PS are now recycling and reusing all classroom waste! Crisp packets are being sent back to Walkers for recycling, we are now a recycling centre for writing implements like old pens and Pringle tubes, milk cartons are washed and recycled, food waste and pencil sharpenings are composted and any non recyclable plastics like the cellophane from straws are put into eco bricks which are then used to make things. We are just about to send each child home with a box to recycle batteries in. This has been a massive undertaking for P7.
We have launched the Eco Brick initiative and every class has been given an eco brick to fill and have fun with. Primary 7 have called theirs McScarecrow and she has a kilt made out of crisp packets. Probably next years fashion must have!
