YOUNGSTERS AT NIELDS SCHOOL IN SLAITHWAITE CASH IN BY RECYCLING THE ‘UNRECYCLABLE’ AND HELPING SAVE THE PLANET

Nields School in Slaithwaite has raised more than £500 for the school’s charity by collecting and recycling “unrecyclable” items from the community. The items collected include cheese packaging, toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes, Pringles tubes, writing instruments and much more. Once dropped off at the school, the items are sent to TerraCycle for recycling, the world leader in recycling hard-to-recycle waste.

Le judo club a installé un point de collecte

Antoine Chevant, professeur de judo, a mis en place le point de collecte, ainsi que les membres du club de judo. Il collecte, avec l’aide des habitants de sa région, les déchets non acceptés par les filières traditionnelles de tri mais acceptés par TerraCycle, et récolte plus de 2.300 € de dons pour financer des équipements adaptés pour accueillir des personnes en situation de handicap.

JJV’s contact lens recycling scheme

The contact lens recycling scheme that we use is the one facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Vision (JJV). It was the first scheme of its kind that I’d heard about. They were providing the boxes for free at the time, and arranging the collection, so we didn’t have to do anything other than order the boxes as and when we needed them, and of course arrange for collection when the box was full of lenses. Whenever we fill the box, we just email TerraCycle, JJV’s partner in the programme.
