Recycling - Closing the Loop

This section provides information of things you can do to reduce the amount of waste produced and going to landfill.

Waste Hierarchy

Reduce

Avoid buying items with lots of packaging as this wastes valuable resources which are generally thrown away and creates rubbish and producing more greenhouse gases.

Re-use

Re-use whatever waste you can such as boxes to store things in, make compost from your garden and kitchen (food) wastes and buy items made from recycled materials which will save on using natural resources.

Recycle

Separate all recyclable items from your rubbish, which is normally placed in the garbage bin, and place them out separately for collection. The school should talk to the Recycling Contractor to collect these items.
