Get your schools recycling collected!

If your school is not already recycling you can find information on how to do it and how it can benefit your school from the Recycle at school guide. Recycling for Charity offeres recycling services – free of charge – in your area.

Position recycling points around the school!

  • Have a recycling point in every room – don’t forget non-teaching areas like the office, staff room and kitchen.
  • Put rubbish bins and recycling points together so it’s as easy to recycle as it is to throw something away.

Involve the right people!

  • Get buy-in from your school management team.
  • Motivate teachers to lead by example: recycle as much as possible and encourage pupils to get involved.
  • Set up a rota for emptying the recycling points.
  • Ensure cleaning and support staff are informed and are aware of how important their role is.

Raise awareness!

For your recycling scheme to be successful, it is important for everyone in your school to know what to recycle and where to recycle it! Use awareness posters to encourage members of the school to recycle more and label recycling points and waste bins clearly to avoid the wrong things being put in the bins.

Keep it going!

  • Use your recycling scheme as an opportunity for real life learning.
  • Monitor your recycling scheme and investigate any reductions in recycling levels.
  • Give regular recycling reports at assemblies and display the information on the notice board to keep everyone informed and motivated.
  • Tell other people about successes, especially parents and the local press and praise all the teams involved.

Learning opportunities

Learning about recycling and actively using recycling facilities at school is an exciting way to enrich the curriculum by providing:

“Recycling at school gives pupils a practical, hands-on opportunity to develop valuable problem solving and decision making skills and to work as a team towards a common goal…”

A real life contect for learning

Your school’s recycling scheme can provide a real life context for learning and skills such

  • data presentation;
  • observation;
  • mapping;
  • planning; and
  • data interpretation.

Recycling can also deliver the aims of the curriculum for some subjects, The key skills required to recycle are, for example, central to the Science programme of study for Key Stage 1:

  1. recognising and naming common types of material (e.g. metal, plastic, wood, paper); and
  2. sorting objects into groups on the basis of simple material properties.

Great for teaching cross curricular skills

Learning about recycling and actively recycling at school helps pupils to develop a range of cross-curricular skills, including:

  • speaking and listening;
  • teamwork;
  • expressing opinions;
  • decision making; and
  • problem solving.

Education for sustainable development

Recycling also helps to put Education for Sustainable Development into practice. Pupils can get involved with decision-making and understand how we can use resources individually and collectively, locally and globally, to improve the quality of life now and in the future.

COST EFFECTIVNESS

Recycling can significantly reduce the amount of rubbish your school throws away, which can save you money in collection charges

Reducing cost of collection

Find out from your bursar, head teacher or site manager/caretaker what your school currently pays for rubbish collections and how frequent the collections are.

Introducing a recycling collection scheme could reduce the amount of waste your school throws away as rubbish. Recycling schemes therefore offer potential cost savings if your school can reduce the size or quantity of rubbish bins collected, or the collection frequency. Any savings made could be used to partially offset possible charges for a dedicated recycling collection.

Contributing to charities from recycling

Recycling for Charity even generate a small income to support local charities with the proceeds.

Keep it simple!

Make space next to your bin for a recycling container – then it’s as simple to recycle as it is to throw it away

Routine recycling!

Make a visit to a bottle, can or other type of recycling bank part of your routine – most supermarkets have our recycling facilities so don’t forget to “drop before you shop”!

Remember those glass jars!

From jam, marmalade and baby food jars to spice, pasta sauce and coffee jars – just give them a rinse in your left over dish washing water and recycle them with your other glass.  Don’t worry about removing labels, they will come off in the recycling process.

Check the bathroom!

Lots of items from the bathroom can be recycled too.  Shampoo and shower gel bottles are often forgotten, so start multi-tasking and rinse out those empty bottles whilst you’re in the shower!  Putting a recycling bin in your bathroom to collect all those empty bottles and cardboard tubes from inside the toilet rolls is a great idea.
