Educating the next generation to recycle

Many nurseries and primary schools in the UK and internationally have introduced recycling schemes using our novelty bins to encourage and educate children to dispose recyclable and landfill waste in the classroom, during lunchtime or in the playground.

School recycling schemes are usually set-up by a school eco-committee and many get guidance and support from the Eco Schools programme run by Keep Britain Tidy. Environmental charity, WRAP have recently announced a new partnership with Let’s Go Zero which is a campaign uniting schools in fighting climate change by 2030.
