Recycling update!

We have been doing such an amazing job collecting the crisp packets and chocolate wrappers for Terracycle that we have stopped 15,060 crisp/popcorn wrappers and 2,680 chocolate wrappers going to landfill!!!

We have also stopped toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes, used pens, batteries and prescription glasses going to landfill by taking them to local drop off points. These are then boxed and sent to Terracycle for recycling.

A great big thankyou to everyone for helping us make this world a cleaner healthier place to live in. 

Please keep them coming in (in separate bags please)

Our Eco Team has been awarded a grant of £149.50 from Pontypridd Town Council to purchase litter pickers.

Meet our new Eco Team who have been selected by members of their class. They will be encouraging our school and community to recycle a variety of items and decrease the amount of waste going to landfill sites.

We are currently selecting our new Eco Council for Autumn 2019

Crisp packets

We have teamed up with Terracycle to collect empty crisp/popcorn/pretzel packets. These packets can't be recycled at the kerbside and ultimately end up in landfill.
Terracycle sort, shred and wash the packets. This material is then made into hard granulated plastic granules. These granules are then used for different products such as fence posts and benches. We have already collected an enormous amount of packets through children's lunch boxes. This is an ongoing collection so please keep the packets coming in.

Easter egg competition

RCT are running a competition to see which school can recycle the most Easter egg packaging. Thanks to you we have bags and bags of packaging in readiness for the weigh in.
