Wastewise

Christine from Wastewise visited  the Mighty Middle School this week. Mrs C collected all the rubbish that the whole school had thrown away on Tuesday. On Wednesday all that rubbish was taken to the Hall and weighed and sorted.
Our job was to count all the recyclable things that had been thrown into the landfill bins in just one day. This is how much there was...

23 yoghurt pots

40 plastic containers

10 drink bottles

70 juice/drink packets

11 coffee cups!

That was 154 items altogether in one day.

In one school week that would be 770 items and in a whole term (10 weeks) that would be 7700 things put in the landfill bins instead of being recycled.

The Mighty Middle School shared what they had found out at assembly on Friday.

Our message to the senior school was put your recyclable things in the recycling bins!
