Monitoring the amount of rubbish a school creates, while also taking steps to minimise this amount, takes time, effort and the cooperation of the whole school. Waste Minimisation can also be a very rewarding topic. As well as encouraging pupils to consider the wider impact of their buying habits, this topic will give pupils a chance to discover the hidden value in some types of waste. Schools may also see direct, immediate benefits – such as a reduction in waste disposal costs.
