Create effective systems

One-stop waste stations make it easy for students to sort their recycling, garbage, and organics into the right categories. Place waste, recycling, and green bins together in convenient areas of the school to cut down on contamination.

Tips:

  • To ensure adequate space, put sorting stations in wide hallways or other common areas, such as the school cafeteria or library.
  • Added value: students can also make recycling centres for items that can be reused or recycled but are not included in regular recycling collection, including light bulbs, ink cartridges, cell phones, and eyeglasses.
