Waste Wise Audit

Glenbrae School is on it's way to becoming a Waste Wise School.
We had to save all our rubbish from everywhere in the school on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday morning, we had our first ever waste audit. It was hard to remember all the places we needed to collect rubbish from. We nearly forgot Miss Elia's office and The RTLB office. All the waste was taken to the hall for classifying and weighing.
Waveney and Marissa from Waste Wise Schools came to help us with the audit. Twenty five students were selected to be counters, sorters, checkers and recorders. Students from all areas of the school were involved, with the older students helping the younger ones.
We were surprised to see how much stuff we thought was rubbish, could actually be recycled or reused.
Our goal is to be waste wise and REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE much more in the future.

Hi Room 7,

I enjoyed watching your movie. It is incredible how much you can recycle. I have to say I am a little guilty of assuming everything is rubbish. Keep up the great learning.
