Recycling ideas for school projects are a great way to teach children the importance and personal responsibility of recycling and the best way to grab their attention is to channel it through a range of fun and education recycling ideas for schools.
When children are fully engaged, they learn more and there is no better way to get them onboard by involving them in some recycling ideas for school’s projects. Understandably, a school’s biggest issue is the amount of wasted paper, plastic and food. So, here are a few ideas that could kick-start your school recycling campaign:
Inter-class recycling competitions! Nothing like a bit of healthy competition between classes. Easy to set up – all you need is recycling bins/boxes, printed signs to say ‘what goes where’ to split the items and see who collects the most by the end of the week!
Build a compost heap! Too much chatting over lunch means not enough chewing and that results in a lot of wasted school dinners! If you have gardens in your school, why not start a compost heap to help reduce school food waste? Food stuffs that can be added include fruit and vegetable peelings from the kitchen, or leftover salad or carrot sticks from your lunchbox. This a great way to reduce food waste and fertilise plants.
Have a regular recycled clothing day! Have you ever considered unwanted clothing recycling by installing a school branded clothing bin for kids, teachers and families to donate to? Here at Kids Just Recycle, we can provide you with a FREE bin and we will pay you cash for every tonne of clothing we collect! It’s a great way to earn while you learn about the benefits of recycling.
