Waste Audit 2024 Term 1

We are deeply passionate about reducing our waste to landfill. 

We often talk about how waste in landfill is a problem for our environment as food in particular doesn't break down easily and produces methane gas. 

We have monitors that check our 'traffic light bins' in each classroom weekly. 

We did a waste audit in term 1 to see:

* What we are putting in the landfill bin each week?

* Are some things being placed in the wrong bins? What can we do about this? 

* How can we further reduce our landfill waste? 

Results

We had our BEST EVER result of only 1.54kg of waste going to landfill each day! 

We were so happy with this! 

We gave feedback to all staff, including the SKIDS team. 

Our BIG Question: 

How can we support and encourage everyone to keep putting rubbish in the correct bin AND have less landfill waste?
