Waste Audit

WasteNet visited Gore Main School during Term One.  Each class received education on waste management and had their questions answered about issues like this:  What can go into the yellow bin?  What can go into the red bin?  Where does the yellow bin recycling go?  Where does the red wheelie bin rubbish go? etc.  Some classes participated in a waste audit.  They saved their rubbish for one week and then tipped it out onto a tarp.  The rubbish was then sorted through!  It was realised very quickly that we are all being very careless with our rubbish and that we could be more efficient with recycling!  It was very eye opening!
