1. Daniel Sykes presents Recycling Year 3 Project

2. Why do we recycle? Amount of rubbish we throw away is increasing We can’t keep burying rubbish forever In Newport the refuse team collect rubbish and take it to the landfill site at the Docks where it is buried and covered with earth. When full we may have to find new landfill site which is costly and not good for the environment

3. How do we recycle? Green & Blue Wastesavers Boxes are collected once a week Garden trimmings and cardboard are collected from orange top bins once a fortnight Home Composter for your own use at home Community Furniture Project (they accept chairs tables beds cookers etc that are in reusable condition)

4. Some examples of what happens to recycling Orange Bin – Card and Garden trimmings are shredded together to make compost and used in parks and gardens Green Bin – Foil, Tins and Cans are crushed into bales and sent for smelting in a furnace. The melted aluminium is eventually made into cylinder heads which are used in car engines Blue Bin – Clothes are reused by Salvation Army Community Furniture Project – unwanted reusable furniture is collected free by Wastewaters and resold through the shop in Pill

5. Three R’s - REDUCE Buy loose food not heavily packed goods Use own shopping bags at supermarkets Stop junk mail through Mailing Preference Service Cancel delivery of unwanted papers and donate magazines and comics to waiting rooms Use nappy laundry service Take lunch to school in reusable plastic container

6. Three R’s - REUSE Use scrap paper for writing notes Reuse carrier bags Reuse old envelopes by placing sticker labels over address Old clothes books and toys to charity shops or car boot sales Buy rechargeable batteries Buy things in refillable containers e.g. washing powders

7. Three R’s - RECYCLE Choose products in packaging which you know can be recycled Lots of kitchen waste can be turned into compost Used stamps can be sent to charities Buy products made from recycled materials

8. Remember the THREE ‘R’s REDUCE the amount of waste you pick up in the first place REUSE as much as you can RECYCLE so that items can be re-made in another form or used by someone else
