Recycling Week: Learning to Care for Our Environment with Litterwatch

Monday 22nd September

As part of Recycling Week, Tipton Green welcomed a visitor from Litterwatch to speak to the children about the importance of looking after our local environment and the vital role recycling plays in keeping it clean and sustainable.

During the session, we learnt that Sandwell Council has introduced a new blue bag to recycle paper and card separately. We also explored the different types of bins and their purposes:

Food waste bins – used for composting

Green bins – for recycling plastic and bottles

General waste bins – for non-recyclable items

The children discovered how recycling more and reducing general waste helps prevent items from ending up in landfill, which benefits the environment in many ways.
