1 Waste and recycling information pack for schools in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
2 Introduction Welcome to the schools waste and recycling pack, full of information and advice about the FREE educational resources and recycling services available to schools in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Richmond Council has more than ten years experience of working with schools to promote environmental awareness and we have an officer who oversees all of the schools recycling collections. With this pack we aim to support you with taking the important message of reducing waste and tackling climate change into the classroom. Content includes information on: Competitions and awards Educational activities and resources Interesting recycling facts Recycling bins Free community reuse schemes Useful websites Schools Environment Forum Teacher training sessions To offer better advice to schools we have joined up with other groups and Council departments to form a Schools Environment Forum which enables us to connect schools with representatives for the eight main doorways of the National Framework for Sustainable Schools. These are: Food and drink Energy and water Travel and traffic Purchasing and waste Buildings and grounds Inclusion and participation Local well being Global dimension For more information or to report a missed collection day or an overflowing recycling bank go to: call: or eco@richmond.gov.uk Recycling facts Rubbish..no, it s true! Each pupil will use one and a half trees of paper and card each year. Recycling just one aluminium can saves enough energy to power a television for three hours. Every steel can is 100% recyclable.it can be recycled over and over again into products like bicycles and of course new cans. One bottle bank can hold up to 3,000 bottles before it needs to be emptied. Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60W light bulb for six hours. Also, did you know? On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks. In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames alone we produce enough rubbish in one year to fill the Twickenham Rugby stadium. 60% of the content of the average Richmond Borough resident s dustbin could be recycled or composted but only 42% actually is! recycle.co.uk, Recoup 2 Visit or call Visit or call

4 Information on school recycling collections Internal recycling bins We collect: Paper Cardboard * Glass Cans and foil Plastic bottles * Food waste * We offer: Regular collections Large recycling bins Downloadable sticker and poster designs Advice and support for recycling at school We do not provide internal recycling bins/containers. However, the school does not need to buy special recycling bins. You can use ordinary bins or cardboard boxes as long as they are labelled distinctively and look different to the general waste bins. To save time download generic label designs free from com/schools. Alternatively pupils could design their own. To arrange a visit to discuss your school s individual requirements contact us on *Collections for these materials are subject to service restraints Ideas to get children to recycle more! Wormeries: A wormery is a small, self-contained unit that will compost soft, organic kitchen waste such as vegetable peelings, coffee grounds and stale bread. Worms are pets and require feeding during long school holidays. They also need to be kept somewhere sheltered and warm in winter. Standard sized wormeries and compost bins cannot process large quantities of fruit waste but they make a great educational tool. More information about composting at school is available at: Subsidised compost bins and wormeries are available to purchase directly from Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre, Kew Fundraising Earn money for your school by collecting Clothes Shoes Ink cartridges Mobile phones for recycling or reuse. Clothes Collectors and Shoe Friends: The option of either internal sacks or a Bertie Bank for your playground Leaflets for pupils to take home Payment to your school for collections To join Clothes Collectors and Shoe Friends contact the Council. There are many private companies that recycle ink cartridges and mobile phones you can find these online. Compost bin 10 Wormery 35 6 Visit or call Visit or call

Have a recycling point in every room - don t forget non-teaching areas like the office, staffroom and kitchen. 2. Put rubbish bins and recycling points together so it s as easy to recycle as it is to throw something away. 3. Make sure everyone knows what can be recycled at school and why it is important to recycle. 4. Label recycling points and waste bins clearly to avoid the wrong things being put in the wrong bin. 5. Set up a rota for emptying the recycling points. 6. Monitor your recycling scheme and watch out for any decline in recycling levels. For example, you could keep a record of how full your external recycling bin is each week. 7. Have a regular recycling report at assemblies and display amounts of recycling collected on a notice board to keep everyone informed and motivated. 8. Motivate teachers to lead by example: recycle as much as possible and encourage pupils to get involved. 9. Ensure cleaning and support staff are informed of changes which affect them and let them know how important their role is. 10.

6 Competitions, Awards and Campaigns Become an Eco-School An international programme that provides a comprehensive framework for becoming a sustainable school. Starting by setting up an eco club there are various stages to the awards. The first two are self-assessed and at the third stage, Green Flag status is awarded by an outside assessor. Many of the projects your school is undertaking will contribute toward Eco-Schools accreditation such as School Travel Plans, recycling and Healthy Schools Recycle Week A national recycling week usually held in June. Look out for communications about local events or competitions and get involved to help raise awareness about the 3Rs in the borough. If your school wishes to hold their own event to celebrate Recycle Week, it would be great to hear about it. Celebrate World Environment Day at your school World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
