Be creative with your waste!

These Joseph coats were created by Northampton School for Girls from waste materials.

Top Hints

Recycle in school

Does your school recycle? Does it recycle all of the materials you think it could? There is plenty out there that can be recycled, batteries, glasses, ink cartridges to name a few. Carry out a search on the web.

Paper - Fill up every side

Rather than starting a new page for each piece of work, rule off below previous work and continue on the same page.

Don't have leftovers

Try not to have leftovers at lunchtime, only take what you can eat.

Paper - Use both sides

Always use both sides of your paper.

Papier mache

Reuse old paper that can not be written on any more to make papier mache models or masks. Or use it to make your own paper.

Slim Your Bin

The objective of Slim Your Bin at School is to increase waste awareness, including the need to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost waste among all school age children, with the broader aim of increasing County recycling rates by encouraging active recycling of household waste, through child to parent education.
