Recycling relay (Primary and Secondary Years)
Recycling relay
This activity supports a practical application of waste and recycling knowledge. It can be used in the middle of a unit of work, or at the end, to assess students’ knowledge of correct separation of materials.
This great activity combines education and fitness!
Students receive a brief introduction on waste and recycling before working in relays teams to sort real items into ‘landfill’, ‘recycling’ and ‘organics’ bins. The bin colours used replicate the kerbside system of the council area the school falls in, assisting students to become great recyclers at home too!
After the relay, the contents of the bins are examined, with ‘tricky’ items discussed in the group.
Please note: Limited subsidies are available for schools in some council areas. Please contact KESAB and speak to a Waste Education Officer for more information.

Recycling rhymes (Early Years)
Recycling rhymes
This activity walks children through the journey of the kerbside bins via visual big books and an interactive bin game.
Children place materials into coloured bins tailored to your local council bin system, with rhymes to remember.
A discussion about tricky items can help answer any questions and support good resource management onsite and at home.
