Our objective in this activity is to understand what can be recycled and ensuring proper recycling habits. During break time, set up a relay race where students sort different types of waste into the correct recycling bins. Use items like paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans and food scraps. In this activity students will learn the importance of recycling correctly and what happens to items that are improperly recycled.

By year level, Challenge the students together with the T.A.’s/Teachers to come up with ideas on how to improve recycling at school and at home. Final ideas will be presented to the class or school administration.
