Recycling for School Programs

The DocShop in conjunction with schools has developed a recycling program involving year 9 students managing waste paper, cardboard, bottles and cans linked to environmental studies.

The student’s responsibilities include placing the bins around the school, collecting and returning the bins to a central location for pick up on a routine basis.

The students also visit the DocShop and other local recyclers to see the next step in the recycling process.

This program has proven very popular, it allows students to develop a broader understanding of how effective recycling can be if managed, the importance of separating waste to achieve a reduction of waste to landfill.

The DocShop has a series of colourful bins that clearly show what goes in what.

	Yellow for confidential Shredding
	Blue for Paper Recycling
	Green for cardboard
	Orange for plastic bottles and cans
	Speciality bins for specific products
