Waste not Wasted

Recycling centres often receive too much recycling to process.

For this activity, we have selected a range of recyclable items that we want to send to the recycling centre. You will need to group/sort your recycling into the same types and see what fits into the recycling grid, and what doesn’t.

There are no right or wrong answers, anything that doesn’t fit in your grid will be used to investigate ways to reduce, reuse and repurpose, making sure those resources are not wasted.

Printable Activity Sheets HERE.

Optional: Do you have items at home/school that you reuse, or repurpose?

We’d love to hear about your creative uses for recyclable items!
