  1. What Rubbish By Naymes en Klarss

  2. Landfill • Our local landfill is at Myocum (photo) it is filling up. I live in Manse Road, and my rubbish collection days are on Wednesday. I only have one collection for recyclables and other waste. Other areas have the collection on different days. All of the waste goes to the Myocum Landfill and Recycling centre. http://www.byron.nsw.gov.au/Article.aspx?ArticleId=475

  4. What do the experts say We found the email of the man at council and emailed him. We asked how long before the tip fills up? Where does all the recycled stuff go? Here is the reply Dear students at MPS Thanks for your letter. The landfill has just been upgraded and will last until 2014. by then it will be full. The recyclable material goes on big trucks to the gold coasted where it is sorted and processed. Did you know that 75% of household waste can be recycled? Best wishes Man at council

  5. School Plastic containers Glass Paper Cardboard Newspaper Phonebooks Computer printer cartridges Compost Home Tyres Car batteries Oil Steel Steel drums Plastic drums Poison drums are returned in the muster What do we use at school that can be recycled We went to http://www.obviously.com/recycle/guides/common.html And read the list of things that can be recycled. Then we sorted the things into groups

  6. School Our school has zones which are different area that people use. We think the rubbish will be different in different area because there are different people and the areas are used for different things • Admin • Library • Senior play • Infants play • Backfields • Classrooms • (photos to go here)

  7. My Zone On our wiki http://www.insertwikihere.com we made a list of zones in the school that make waste and we wrote what we thought would be the biggest waste product. Our group chose the administration area, but we nearly chose the infants playground. We chose admin because we wanted to see what waste the teachers produced.  • Picture here of admin area.

  8. What we found in our zone. • We counted out the contents of the rubbish bins every Thursday for 3 weeks and put our results into a spreadsheet. Then we made a table. • We had to weigh the paper because we couldn't count it all. Same with the compost.

  9. Our Results • The teachers don’t do much recycling. We wanted to make a pie chart but we ran out of time. They use a lot of plastic and paper and glass • We compared the teacher waste with infants. • The infants have much more compost. • The most common waste product in school is food. This is probably why the ibis (photo) hang around the playground. Lots of food gets wasted. The teachers didn’t waste food. • We should form a group to collect compost and food waste and carry it out to the landcare plantings (photo)and maybe the birds will hang there instead of the playground.?

  10. Which area of the school has the most waste. • The biggest waste is food in the primary lunch area. • There are lots of plastic bottles from the canteen that could go into a different bin.

  11. Questionaire: • My questions to ask people in the school are: • Would you use compost bins • Would you take rubbish home with you? • Would you only use recycle bins? • Can you use less?

  12. Why is the waste different? • Because the teachers eat all of their lunch because they get to make it themselves and they like it. The primary kids get lunch that they don’t like and they throw it away. • Where is it coming from? The food waste comes from home and the plastic waste comes from the canteen. The canteed shpuld only sell stuff that has wrappers that can be recycled.

  13. Flowchart for juice bottle • We did this map in freemind and the only solution is to recycle the bottle.

  14. Our Solution • Take rubbish home with you if you brought it. • Don’t buy stuff that cannot be recycled. • Put compost in the forest so the ibis can go there and eat it. • We could put poster up near the bins • We know if your solution has worked if the dump doesn’t keep getting filled up and if the ibises stop crowding into our playground.

  15. Poster or picture here • Given time a poster or painting can be created and put here
