The Eco Team’s Recycling Hub

Located behind the STEM Centre on the 7-10 Campus is a set of large bins, with the sole purpose of collecting recyclable items. People from within and outside the Frankston High School Community are most welcome to use these bins to get rid of:

  • Old electrical tools
  • Electrical items in general (including old mobile phones)
  • Clothing
  • Plastic toys

All items collected by the bins are recycled and repurposed. The Eco Team is paid a small rate for having the bins on site, so use of the bins helps to support the team with their ongoing projects, including helping to make the school single-use plastic free.

 

Please note: the bins are monitored 24/7 via security cameras, and any illegal dumping is a serious offence. If you find that the yellow bin is full, please feel free to put items in the purple electrical bin.
