Teacher's area

There has never been a better time to start recycling at your school and this is the place to find everything you need. Anyone is welcome to dip in and out of our website.

However, if you are a school in Gloucestershire we would love you to sign up to our Challenge, and become a 'Recycle for Gloucestershire School'. We have a list of activities that you can do, which you will be awarded points for. You can sign up to the Recycle Challenge here. We will send you a certificate to show you are part of the Recycle for Gloucestershire Schools challenge and we will add your school to the leaderboard, with 10 free points for signing up. Once you have completed an activity, let us know, and we will amend your score on the leaderboard.

If you are really serious about reducing, reusing and recycling in school we recommend you start by completing our easy to use waste audit. Download the Waste Audit forms here. The audit can be completed by pupils, it's that easy! It will help you see what is working well, and what you can do to improve things. Once this is completed and returned to us via the freepost address, we will give you a further 80 points. You can then start to build up more points for all the waste reduction, reusing, recycling and composting actions that you are putting in place.

To get the most out of this project we strongly advise that you set up a group of interested people, who will be able to take your ideas forward. More >>
