Visiting our local recycling bank

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009As a green school we are very interested in recycling in our class and in our schools. We talk lots about recycling. We use recycling bins in our class and at home. We even use recycled water (rainwater) on our plants in class. We have coloured recycling posters for a competition. Today we took a walk to our local recycling bank - a 2minute walk from our class. We looked at each of the bins and tried to use our reading skills to figure what goes in each bin. We found out that we can't recycle cans or tins here but on one of the bins we could read what to do with our tins and cans (put them in our green wheelie bins at home once they are clean and dry). We can't wait to collect lots of bottles from home and take our families to the recycling bank.
