ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Waste not want not is school's mantra

TerraCycle Include UK Danone
Waste not want not is school's mantra ST MARY'S School in Chiddingfold is part of a free nationwide programme that pays organisations such as schools and charities to collect difficult to recycle waste that could otherwise go to landfill. The waste material is then used by TerraCycle to make a wide range of upcycled products such as folders for schools, pencil cases, shopping bags, notepads. For each empty yogurt pot and baby food pouch the children collect, the school receives two pence which they plan to put towards better outdoor facilities. At the same time as raising much needed funds for the school, the scheme brings to life to the children the importance of resource conservation, recycling and upcycling. Teacher Mrs Maidment said: The children and parents are excited to be able to make a difference in their environment, while also raising money for the school.
