Welcome to 2024!
The weekly Green Tip is intended to share ideas about how you can reduce your environmental footprint at school, home and work.
This term the focus is on waste. In particular, reducing waste to landfill.
At Merici you can use the yellow bins, the same as the yellow bins at home, to recycle:
✔️ glass bottles and jars – clean and empty
✔️ plastic bottles and containers – clean, empty and lids removed
✔️ steel and aluminium cans – clean and empty
✔️ paper – not shredded
✔️ cardboard – flattened
The yellow bins at Merici are pictured above.
Did you know that a recycling bin costs about one quarter of the cost of a landfill bin to be removed?
Please sort your waste to reduce your waste sent to landfill, and costs.
