Recylcing


 * It seems ridiculous how we don't recycle here
 * If this is set up properly, it can carry on for a long time
 * in every class room and everywhere where there is a normal rubbish bin. Is that too ambitious??
 * i don't think its too ambitious... its just that other wise, people just wouldn't be bothered to recycle, we have to make it as easy as possible, no one would deliberately NOT recycle if the bin was right there :)


 * Talk to the School**

Alistair talked to his boss at Plastic Box about recylcing bins Dave suggested a green 45LT rubbish bin with a lid - made by a company called interworld He is going to investigate prices and sizes
 * Sourcing Bins**

- The following is an example from another school

Making a really obvious system of recycling, and making it really accessible. People are generally willing to recycle if they don't have to do any extra work. So we set up black bin for waste, white bin for paper and blue bin for plastic and can recycling. We put them close together, so if you're going to throw recyclables in the bin, then you may as well toss it a little further and let it land in the recycling. Then we put signs on them telling people what to put in them, and did a big drive carrying these bins around whanau assemblies. We also did a waste audit of the black bins and found out how much could have been recycled, and used the stats in a powerpoint to back up our message to recycle. We also found out how much is actually food scraps, so we're going to try to implement worm farming this year.
