Sligo Grammar School Litter and Waste Programme

A wide range of activities were carried out as part of the review. Litter was not identified as a major problem, no real black spots. But awareness about how litter needs to be dealt with was really needed. Plastic bottles were an initial concern and became the focus to reduce these within the school grounds. Most waste generated within the classroom is recyclable today. Initial reviews showed that recycling was being contaminated by unrinsed yogurt tubs and unclean plastic milk cartons. An awareness video was put together on using the bins correctly.
