The recycling bins can take:

  • Paper
  • Aluminium cans
  • Plastic bottles
  • Tin foil
  • And all packaging with the ‘recyclable’ images on them

Also our school does not currently have a compost bin, so all fruit peels should be put in the waste bins alongside tissues,pencil parings and other food waste.
