Term 3 WASTE-FREE

By Melinda Hamilton, RTC Co-ordinator

Students are off to a great start with the T3/50 challenge this term, working hard to have waste-free lunch boxes.

To support their waste-free efforts, the RTC has set up some REDcycle bins to collect soft plastic items. Many items that come in lunch orders, such as meat pies, sausage rolls, muffins and banana bread, are wrapped in soft plastic. As these are popular items, we want the packaging to be REDcycled, instead of going to landfill.

Lids4Kids continues to be another great initiative to stop plastic lids ending up in landfill and an organisation the RTC has supported for several years. Year 4 is collecting lids and you can drop these off at the JS Foyer in the clearly marked collection container.

The RTC hopes that between the REDcycle bins, compost bins, Lids4Kids bins and standard recycling bins, we can now have zero waste at Radford!
