- Run a one-day waste audit. Learners sort and weigh a day’s rubbish. The results are always surprising — and motivating.
- Set up clearly labelled recycling stations beside every bin, with pictures for younger grades.
- Start a school compost heap for tuck-shop and garden waste, and use it in a food garden.
- Make it a competition. Classes compete for the cleanest grounds or the most material diverted.
- Appoint eco-monitors who check stations, share tips at assembly and report progress.
