Zero Waste at SHS

Each week our school’s motivated Zero Waste team collect paper from around the school to be recycled. With 15 collections points situated around the school there is a lot of paper to be collected and deposited into the paper and cardboard dumpster. The dumpster takes a fortnight to fill and is then collected by the recycling company.

Whilst students generally place their rubbish into the appropriate recycling bin. Sometimes errors are made and one final check is done to remove any incorrect material. Students achieve this important task in approximately 10 minutes before the start of classes.
