Up to 20 years
Up to 40 years Up to 100 years
? Just think how much decomposing litter (litter that is rotting away) is lying on our planet!
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Prevent litter - reduce waste
Some examples:
You are making the area more beautiful
You are setting an example for others to get rid of litter themselves
You are making it less likely that others will drop litter because the
area
is clean and tidy
You are reducing the amount of waste in your area.
after East Riding of Yorkshire - it’s a beautiful place to live, let’s keep
it that way.

What a load of rubbish!
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
ERYC waste facts
To hit this target we all need to help!
2002/3 records show that:
In 2002/3 East Riding of Yorkshire Council collected 189,832 tonnes of household waste. This doesn’t include waste produced by factories and businesses - that is called commercial waste.Almost all of the household waste was buried in landfill sites.
Councils all round the country have been set targets for recycling waste
25,184 tonnes of household waste was recycled. That was 13% of the waste collected
East Riding of Yorkshire Council must recycle 27% of household waste by 2005/06.

How you can help ERYC achieve their
recycling targetThink about places in East Riding of Yorkshire where you can take your rubbish to be recycled.
These are called bring sites – ERYC has more than 100 bring sites
Some supermarket car parks, leisure centres, pub car parks, outside schools
Do you know where your nearest bring site is?

How you can help ERYC achieve their
recycling target
What else can you do?
Household waste recycling sites (the tip) – ERYC has 10 of these sites
Kerbside recycling – ERYC has just launched a wheeled bin kerbside recycling scheme
What can you do at home?
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Recycling our rubbish
Lots of you have a new blue wheelie bin at home to use for recycling. This is called kerbside recycling.
Use your blue wheelie bin for rubbish that can be recycled - paper and magazines. Take glass to the glass banks (at most bring sites).
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Recycling our rubbish
Remember to use your green wheelie bin for rubbish that can’t be recycled like polystyrene and tissues.
Remember - Blue bin recycling - Green bin rubbish
Go on - use that Blue BIN!

Landfill
If you don’t recycle where does the rubbish go?
It goes to landfill
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Facts about landfill
Landfill – is when untreated rubbish is tipped into holes in the ground. When the hole is full the top is covered and the ground is returned to other uses.
New landfill sites are becoming harder to find.
In East Riding of Yorkshire there is plenty of beautiful countryside - but do we want to pollute it with rubbish and create lots of ugly tips across our area?
What do you know about it?
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Facts about landfill
So what can we do insteadof sending our rubbish tolandfill?
Here is a landfill site in
East Riding of Yorkshire.

MODULE THREE
What’s in your rubbish?
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
What’s in your rubbish?
An average family will produce 1,250 kilograms of household waste
each year.
A small car like a Mini!
Unfortunately, your household waste is bulkier (takes up more space)
than a Mini Cooper and fills at least a wheelie bin every week.
What else would weigh this much?
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
In 2002, ERYC produced 189,832
tonnes of household waste
A wheelie bin holds approximately
10 kilograms of waste
Therefore, in 2002, ERYC’s waste
filled 18,900,000 wheelie bins.
What’s in your rubbish?
If you stood these wheelie bins side
by side they would stretch from
Spurn to Flamborough and back
58 times!
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
What’s in your rubbish?
Discuss what rubbish is in your bin at home.Here are some examples of the rubbish that a typical bin contains:
Organic waste (like vegetable peelings)
Paper and card (mostly packaging)
Newspapers and magazines
Glass bottles and jars
Plastics (bottles and bags)
Metal cans
Textiles
Other waste materials

MODULE FOUR
Produce less. Create more!
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Think before you junk!
The National Waste Strategy 2000 said that councils must recycle more waste instead of just dumping it! So what can you do to help?The strategy suggests ways of producing less waste.
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Recover
What do you think these might be?
This is called the waste hierarchy!
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Reduction
Discuss what you think is meant by reduction of waste.
Reduction means sending less waste to landfill.
A tonne of waste prevented is a tonne less to bury
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Reuse
Discuss what you think is meant by reuse of waste.Reuse means reusing things, such as glass bottles, returnable plastic crates, shoes, spectacles or even computers.
Some products are designed to be reused a number of times.
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Recycling
Discuss what you think is meant by recycling of waste.
Recycling means turning rubbish into new products. Lots of things can be recycled. In East Riding of Yorkshire a kerbside recycling scheme means you can recycle: Paper Magazines
In the future the kerbside recycling scheme will include: Cans Plastics
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Recovery
Discuss what you think is meant by recovery of waste.
Recovery involves transforming (changing) the material by reprocessing it. For example, burning waste, or extracting methane from a landfill site, to generate heat or electricity.
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
What materials can be sorted?
There are many projects being started across the country to support the reduction of waste. In all areas these plans encourage the sorting of materials that can be recycled. If people sort the waste at home, (called kerbside collection), then less waste has to be disposed of.
Think of some materials that can be sorted before collection:
Compost bins help households to recycle their kitchen peelings and garden waste.
textiles
glass
cans
paper
organicsplastics
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Get it sorted - spread the word!
Tell everyone who can’t recycle at home to do their bit by using our Household Waste Recycling Centres (tip).
Discuss what you could find at these centres:
glass banks
save-a-can banks
paper banks
places for textiles
places for garden rubbish.
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
How do you think you could help when taking rubbish to the Household Waste Recycling Centres?
You could: wash out bottles, cans and jars take the labels off them as well crush the cans and plastic bottles to take up less space.
How you can help when it comes
to recycling
Safety First be careful when handling rubbish ask an adult to crush cans for you watch out for sharp edges.
Where is your nearest recycling centre?Visit http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/environment
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Think!
When getting rid of your rubbish think about the
4Rs. What are the 4Rs? Reduce - Don’t create waste - if we cut down on the things we use we
will produce less waste
Reuse - Use it again before you throw it away check to see if it can be
re-used by someone else
Recycle - Can it be recycled?
Recover - Can the energy locked up inside it be converted into
something useful?
If it has to be thrown away (disposal) can we do it safely?
Get that rubbish sorted !!!
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Recycled ProductsRecycling means manufacturing a new product from old, used material. Lots of recycled products are available.
Cardboard containers Toilet rolls
Plastic bottles Fleece jackets
Used aluminium cans New aluminium cans
Used glass bottles New glass bottles
The display in the photograph shows waste materials that have been collected (on the left) and then recycled into new products (on the right).
Copyright © 2004 TC Associates
Recycled Products
At the moment there is not enough demand for recycled products.
Lots of information on products that can be recycled is available. For more information on these products you could use an internet search engine using the key words you have learnt about recycling.
A manufacturer will automatically choose to use a raw material rather than a recycled one if there is no demand from the public.
To make sure more waste is recycled we must start using recycled products.
