SchoolsSchool recycling

Recycle at your school or youth group!


Welcome to the schools recycling section where you can find out all you need to know about setting up recycling in your school and how we can help you pass on the important message to your pupils and young members!

Our recycling officers have lots of fun ways to guide young people through recycling and how they can make a difference….and it’s all free of charge!

  • The recycling chat!

A short picture presentation to all age groups which shows the reasons behind recycling and how we do it!

  • Race for waste

A relay race to get teams working together to recycle all the right things.

  • Interactive quiz

The 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' style quiz is played on a lap top with hand held answering remote controls for each participant.  It is really popular with all age groups and is a great way to recap the session and brings out the competitive streak in everyone!!

  • Compostable plant pots

Oragami plant pots are a good way to demonstrate composting happening.  Each person makes a pot which we then fill with compost and a seed or bulb.  When the plant begins to grow the whole pot can then be transferred into the garden at home or school.  The pot will naturally rot away just leaving your plant!*

*Best done outside during spring and summer terms.

  • Recycled bead making

Make your own beads from scrap paper…….really easy and makes a great present!

We can carry out 2 to 3 activities with each class and require a minimum of 50 minutes per session.  We will also need a large open space such as the main hall.
