A village school has wrapped up a national recycling award thanks to the efforts of the surrounding community - and their taste for biscuits. Wooler First School, in rural Northumberland, has won the nationwide recycling contest to save the most used biscuit wrappers from landfill. A total of 7,800 used biscuit wrappers were collected by the school’s network of collectors and the wider local community in the Glendale area during the six-month McVitie’s Biscuit Wrapper Round up contest, which ended in October. Though the village school has only 113 pupils, it was aided in its recycling efforts by the Roddam WI and blood donor groups in the North East.
