Reduce, Reuse, RecycleBy Franklin

The Rubbish Audit In Term 2 Room 17 had a rubbish audit in our classroom. We

did an audit to see how good we were at Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling.

First our class got all the rubbish and recycling for one whole week in the classroom and laid it out on a few pieces of newspaper that were on the floor. Next we sorted out the different types of rubbish.

We set out the different types of rubbish into groups with labels. We kept the compostable paper away from the recyclable paper because the compostable paper would go into the worm bin and the recyclable paper would go to the paper recycling bins. Once it was sorted we were ready to go around the school for the rubbish audit.

Going To The Bins We went around to the bins.

We put the correct waste in the right bin.

When we finished we had very few pieces of rubbish left.

Worm Bin

We gave the worms our food scraps and compostable paper. Worms don’t like citrus or kiwi fruit.

Recyclable Paper

We put the recyclable paper in these bins. No paper with snot goes in these bins.

RecyclingWe put a yogurt pot, and a recyclable drink bottle in this well seen recycling bin. It is for plastics, glass and tins.

The Rubbish Bins

We put all of the rubbish in these bins, including pencil sharpening.

All of this rubbish goes to the landfill.

The Rest Of The Rubbish

After the rubbish audit we didn’t have much rubbish left so I guess that means that Room 17 is good at Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling.
