The College recycling effort is is well and truly on track with a range if initiatives implemented this year. At the start of the year, we introduced the Ecobin system for recycling which includes separating soft plastic, containers, compostible waste, paper recycling and landfill. This system has seen a reduction in the amount of landfill waste being dropped into our big skip bins and more waste being recycled.

Our tuckshop has introduced the use of wooden eco-friendly spoons and forks for lunches and our College chooks are really enjoying all the scraps generated from the tuckshop every day.

This week, Mr Petersen and Mr Kaveny collected up all the containers for recycling. From the amount gathered from the container bins around the College and the waste from the Christmas Carols, they delivered 7 large wheelie bin sized bags to the depot. Each bag sees a return of around $25 which means an income of about $175, and this is just for one term! Parents can still help by encouraging their children to recycle as a quantity of containers and other recycling is still being dropped into the general waste bins. You can also help by putting sandwiches and snacks into reusable containers and reducing the amount of plastic being consumed.
