Recycling • Recycling is important because it reduces the amount of rubbish going to landfill. • It reduces the amount of materials being used, which reduces the amount of energy and materials used to make them. • We recycle as much as possible in school such as plastic bottles, paper, food as compost, milk cartons and lids, clothes
