What's in your Rubbish Bin?
A large percentage of UK household's still do not recycle enough
and throw everything that they consider 'rubbish' into their
ordinary bin.
Much of this waste can be
recycled and should be disposed
of separately to general
household waste. Look inside this
rubbish bin to see how much of
the contents should actually have
been recycled. Check our list on

How To Recycle:
1. Paper Recycling
• Paper is the main form of waste created by schools, making
up at least a quarter of all its rubbish.• Contact your local council and ask them to provide your
school with a paper-recycling bin.
• Set up a paper collection scheme for each classroom by
making ‘paper only’ boxes for the children and teachers to put
used paper in. Make sure they are clearly labelled and placed
in an obvious place.
• Involve pupils by allowing them to create posters and bright
labels for the recycle bins.
• Brief the teachers about the recycling scheme and hold
assemblies to inform the pupils.
• Make sure that the teachers and staff understand the
importance of recycling, and this should filter down to the
pupils.2. Metal Recycling
• Metal recycling schemes are good for schools with vending
machines.
•
Contact your local council and ask them to provide yourschool with a recycling bin for cans.
• Place the bins next to the vending machines and make sure
they are clearly labelled.
• Make sure that both teachers and pupils understand on the
importance of recycling.
• Find out if there is a ‘cash for cans’ program running in your
area.
• Buy recycled print cartridges whenever possible.
3. Composting Scheme• Contact your local council who may be able to provide a
compost bin for your school, in some cases, compost bins are
provided free of charge. Your councils recycling officer will be

• Teachers and children can be involved in making the
compost by adding items such as tea bags, coffee granules,
fruit and vegetable cuttings from the cafeteria.
• If your school has a garden, then you can add leaves, plant
cuttings and grass trimmings to the compost heap.4. Recycling Glass
The consumer throws glass into a recycle bin.
Glass is taken from the bin and taken to a glass treatment plant.
The glass is sorted by colour and washed to remove any
impurities.

The glass is then crushed and melted, then moulded into new
products such as bottles and jars. Or it may be used for
alternative purposes such as brick manufacture or decorative
uses.
The glass is then sent back to the shops ready to be used again.
Glass does not degrade through the recycling process, so it can
be recycled again and again.
