Waste Audit Term 2 2016

A group of students carried out a waste audit, emptying every bin in the whole school, to see how much rubbish our school produces. We were pleased to learn that more than half of the rubbish (63%) is able to be recycled. 7% of our rubbish includes food scraps and these are given to Mrs Rodley's pigs which is good because the food is not going to waste!! However, 30% of our rubbish does go to landfill and we think we can reduce this amount. Some of the tips to reduce our waste are;

• Separate food from the wrappers and put the food scraps into the pig scraps.
• Try and use nude food packaging instead of food that comes in prepackaged wrapping.
