These recycling bins bring knowledge about recycling into practice. Students learn which bin they should put their rubbish in – the paper & cardboard bin, the glass & plastic bin, the general waste bin or the compost bin.
Each set of recycling comes in colours lid (red, blue, yellow and green), all with a black base. The bins have a volume of 30L and measure 57.5cm (H) x 41cm (W) x 30cm (L). The bins come with a swing lid. Put all 4 bins together to create a complete recycling station!
Caring for the environment is an important aspect of everyday life. Everyone has to do their part to try to make this world a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable place. Recycling is an important aspect to achieve this.
The younger the students are when they are introduced to the concept of recycling, the more likely it is that they will continue to do so when they grow up. By introducing these recycling bins to your school environment, students will have to think about their waste management multiple times a day. It will make them realise that they can make good and bad environmental choices and decisions. Students identify items to recycle and which ones they can not recycle. The recycling bins can be part of a lesson plan by letting the students put their waste in the correct bin.
Use the compost created by the students to help the plants in your school garden grow. Students will explore different ways of managing waste sustainably. Also how these may include the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle and replace. Recycling is an important aspect of the curriculum, in both Science and Geography.
With these recycling bins, you can include topics like the sustainable management of waste in everyday lesson plans.
These recycling bins are exclusive to Modern Teaching Aids.
