Improving Recycling
At one of our meetings, the Eco-Council conducted an audit of all of the bins around school. This included the recycling bins, waste bins and food caddies. We found that there were a number of items that kept appearing in the wrong bins as shown below.
In one of our meetings, the Eco-Council made posters to put up around school showing staff and pupils which items can be recycled and which can not.
Below are examples of some of the posters that the Eco-Council have made to be displayed around school.
Eco-Council in Action!
One of the areas that the Eco-Council identified that needed much improvement in recycling was the hall at lunchtimes. The Eco-council set up an area to wash recyclable items and monitored the bins to ensure that items were put in the correct bins.
