Message from the Middle School Leaders...

The Middle School Leaders have joined the TerraCycle Hair Care and Colour Recycling Program. We are encouraging all members of the school community to collect types of hair care and hair colour packaging. There is a Viewbank College community collection hub located in the library where you can drop off your used hair care products for recycling! Only certain types and parts of the products are acceptable.

A list is provided below:

Clear PE gloves (these are found in most hair colour packs).
Black gloves made from HEPE, latex or nitrile.
All brands of empty hair shampoo and conditioner bottles, hair colour and gel jars, lids, bottles, closures, tubes, pumps, caps and stirrers made from plastics and flexible or rigid aluminium.

Please note that you have to empty any excess material from the containers you are recycling. The excess material must be emptied and disposed of in your general waste bin. All hair dye bottles and tubs (both liquid and powder) must be tripled rinsed. All hair dye tubes must have residual dye squeezed out.

If in doubt, please leave out!

Please start collecting whilst at home in this latest lockdown. We look forward to seeing all your empty bottles and containers filling up our collection box in the Library when we get back to school!
