Why do we collect the paper and cardboard and deposit it in the municipal container?

 

At school, we are collecting and dumping all the paper and cardboard generated

 throughout the week, class by class, staff room by staff room and office by office.

 

For this, at the beginning of the course, we had a cardboard box in each of the classrooms and offices, in which come the notebooks that we will use throughout the course, to which was added the recycling logo and the slogan "Recycling paper or Recycling paper".

 

   

In both buildings, you have two bins of about 100l. capacity each, blue an with the recycle logo. In them, for example, all primary and some  secondary students pour out the paper generated the previous day each day.

 

In the primary building we have two large bins, one in the staff room and one on the first floor. In this way, the classes in each area pour the paper into each of these bins. 

 

 

For secondary school classes, we have put the bins made with the cardboard boxes (here we try to reuse everything) and in the staff room of this building there is another large blue bin. 

Our job is to collect, class by class, each week the paper from the cardboard boxes and pour it into a large plastic bag. From the blue staff trash, we take out the black bag and put another empty one.

 

 

 

 As for the primary building, what we do is take the black bags that are inside both

 large blue bins and put other empty bags.Then we go to the municipal container for 

the collection of Paper and Cardboard and we empty all the bags, we never throw them away.

 With this CAS activity we are getting 

all our colleagues, little by little, to 

deposit only the paper and cardboard 

in these bins and make them see that 

they are contributing to more paper 

being recycled, fewer trees are cut down

 and even less CO 2 and other gases polluting 

our atmosphere and, therefore, contributing

 to global warming.
