A visit to the Recycling centre
Introduction
Last week our class visited the recycling centre in our town. The main reason for this trip was to make us more
aware of the importance of recycling in our school and our local area.
Organization
We arrived at the recycling centre at 9.30am and were met by the recycling centre manager. Firstly, we watched a
short video about the impact of waste on the environment and how damaging certain materials can be, especially to
wildlife. After the video, we had a tour of the centre. Here we saw how plastic, glass, paper and tin were separated
and processed.
Finding
In the education room, we saw new products made from recycled materials, like pencils made from old newspaper
and even clothes made from recycled plastic bottles! It was great to find out that lots of things that I throw away can
