Rubbish and recycling

Waste education for schools

displays - educate students and share a waste and recycling message by putting up displays in your school library, hall or reception area
posters - run a poster competition to encourage everyone at school to think about waste and recycling, and ask a local business to provide a prize
newsletters - use the school newsletter to tell students, teachers and parents what they can do to reduce their waste eg. give tips about how to make a 'Litterless Lunch'
morning notices - if your school has morning notices use the opportunity to broadcast recycling messages such as 'Remember to put the right rubbish in the right bin'; or give updates on how they are going with towards their recycling targets
find out about local projects - you can join in on such projects as the Trees for Survival www.tfsnz.org.nz
bottle liquid from your worm farm - make labels and sell it back to your parents as a fantastic fertilizer for their gardens!
have the students research and develop a 'policy' for your school such as:
- a green procurement policy
- a zero-waste policy.
