SCHOOL DISCO


At this one and only school disco on the 19th November we collected a total of:

  • 8.64 kg of waste

  •  7.87 kg was diverted from landfill.

  • This means that 91% was diverted from the landfill altogether. 

It was so shocking to us that we saved 91% of waste going to landfill that was put into the compost, recycling and even people putting things in the soft plastic bin!



FAMILY FUN NIGHT


On our annual Family Fun Night on Thursday 25th November we collected :


  • Total of 7.95kg of waste

  • 7.44kg was diverted from landfill

  • 7.44 / 7.95 = 94% diverted from landfill altogether


So now in total we saved 94% of rubbish going into landfill and going into the other categories like the soft plastic, food scraps/compost and recycling!













Waste Expo



On the Tuesday 24th of November 2020, the Waste Expo took place in our school hall. Since the year 5 and 6’s were at Rainbows End, the very kind Juniors decided to take our place in the Waste Expo which was a huge success. The Waste Expo was a group of companies like "Love Food Hate Waste", Compost Collective, "Clean Plate Less Waste" and many more. At this event we shared our waste minimisation successes which took a lot of effort!
