Recycling At Brentwood

Our Waste contractor, Premier Waste, has confirmed that the recyclables collected from Brentwood are being sent to Orora and Polytrade for recycling and are NOT being diverted to the landfill. Due to the Victorian recycling crisis, we have been asked by Premier Waste to sort the wastes correctly at the source and avoid contamination.

The Green Team has recently updated the signage on all paper recycling bins in classrooms. We request all students to make a note of the items that are accepted in those bins and prevent contamination of the bins.

Items Accepted:

• Paper
• Hard Plastics
• Empty Aluminium cans

Items not accepted:

• Cardboard
• Soft plastics
• Tissues and Paper towel
• Plastic packaging
• Pencil sharpening
• Gloves
• Poster paper
• Snack wrappers

The Green Team urges parents to pack rubbish-free lunches for their children to minimise the waste produced at the college. Please visit https://www.nudefoodmovers.com.au/ for ideas on how to make rubbish-free lunch.

Please share your ‘nude-food’ stories with us, so we can promote them with the rest of the community. Email us: greenteam@ms.brentwood.vic.edu.au
