Recycling Station  

Remember to keep on bringing in your items for recycling.  See the attached for what you can bring in. When dropping it in to the school please put it into the correct bin. Make sure items are not in a plastic bag and are clean. Our students diligently go through the bins in order to pack and send off for recycling and we don’t want nasty surprises for them. Our focus bin this newsletter is Coffee Pods – they need to be clean, not leaking and not in another bag. These are then packaged and sent to a local TerraCycle Material Recovery Facilities located in the same country in which the waste originates. Once sorted by category, the different material types are cleaned and then sent to third-party partners to process the materials into usable forms.

If you would like to know more about what you can do at home for recycling, go to www.terracycle.com.au

Containers for Change

• Continue to bring in your Containers for Change bottles/cans (clean and LIDS removed). Place in the big blue bin near the library. Leave your ring pulls on but take your plastic lids off. Alternatively use our school ID number at a community drop off point C10339712

Did you know our blue plastic school bench near the front office was made from 15 000 600ml water bottles?

If you would like a key fob with our school scheme number on it please see the office staff. Happy gardening and sustainable thinking,

Happy gardening and sustainable thinking,
