and throw everything that they consider 'rubbish' into their

ordinary bin.

Much of this waste can be

recycled and should be disposed

of separately to general

rubbish bin to see how much of 

the contents should actually have

How To Recycle:

1. Paper Recycling

• Paper is the main form of waste created by schools, making

up at least a quarter of all its rubbish.• Contact your local council and ask them to provide your

school with a paper-recycling bin.

• Set up a paper collection scheme for each classroom by

making ‘paper only’ boxes for the children and teachers to put

used paper in. Make sure they are clearly labelled and placed

in an obvious place.

• Involve pupils by allowing them to create posters and bright

labels for the recycle bins.

• Brief the teachers about the recycling scheme and hold

assemblies to inform the pupils.

• Make sure that the teachers and staff understand the

importance of recycling, and this should filter down to the

pupils.2. Metal Recycling

• Metal recycling schemes are good for schools with vending

machines.

•

Contact your local council and ask them to provide yourschool with a recycling bin for cans.

• Place the bins next to the vending machines and make sure

they are clearly labelled.

• Make sure that both teachers and pupils understand on the

importance of recycling.

• Find out if there is a ‘cash for cans’ program running in your

area.

• Buy recycled print cartridges whenever possible.

3. Composting Scheme• Contact your local council who may be able to provide a

compost bin for your school, in some cases, compost bins are

provided free of charge. Your councils recycling officer will be

• Teachers and children can be involved in making the

compost by adding items such as tea bags, coffee granules,

fruit and vegetable cuttings from the cafeteria.

• If your school has a garden, then you can add leaves, plant

cuttings and grass trimmings to the compost heap.4. Recycling Glass

The consumer throws glass into a recycle bin.

Glass is taken from the bin and taken to a glass treatment plant.

The glass is sorted by colour and washed to remove any

impurities.

The glass is then crushed and melted, then moulded into new

products such as bottles and jars. Or it may be used for

alternative purposes such as brick manufacture or decorative

uses.

The glass is then sent back to the shops ready to be used again.

Glass does not degrade through the recycling process, so it can

be recycled again and again.
