14. How we recycle water bottles If you could keep any used or unwanted water bottles in a bag/container in your class. Every Friday afternoon break we will come and collect your water bottles that you don’t want any more. We take the water bottles to the recycling bin by the entrance of the school.

15. Recycling Mobile Phones We are doing a power point all about Mobile phone recycling. Let us tell you about an exiting new initiative that we have organised to help recycle phones and raise money for the school and you guys!

16. What to do Basically, if you have an old mobile phone that’s not being used and going to waste, we would like to recycle it. We are looking to collect any kind of mobile phone even the really old ones and will even be able to accept phones which are broken, damaged or don’t work!!!

17. What do we get for them? You will not believe this guys but for each phone we, as a school family will receive. Our target is to collect 100 phones or more.

18. Just remember to Take out the SIM card (you can use that in another phone!) Don’t include the charger. You could: –Collect from your family, asking for old or broken phones. –Collect from your neighbours explaining it is for the raising of funds for the school.

19. Special collection bags will be handed out by your class teacher! Happy collecting guys!
