Encourage Children to Recycle More and Litter Less with Our Novelty School Bins

Encourage Children to Recycle More and Litter Less with Our Novelty School Bins

When it comes to litter education and prevention, starting early is the key, and that’s why raising awareness about litter among children is a great place to start.

If kids are taught about litter at an early age, they are more likely to grow up to be responsible adults who care about the environment.

Adults can be set in their ways and so behaviour change can be more difficult, but that’s not the case with children. They are less likely to have fixed habits and behaviours, and they soak up new information like a sponge. This is why they can be excellent ambassadors for good behaviour around litter. Studies have even shown that children can influence their friends and families to change their behaviour too.

Litter charities and campaigns have realised the potential that lies in educating children about litter, and they’ve partnered with a lot of schools to align litter education with the curriculum to make it more engaging.

But while fun lessons, games, and competitions are all great ideas, never underestimate the impact that installing some novelty bins in the playground can have on children’s willingness to dispose of litter properly and recycle.

The benefits of having bins around your school

As you’ll know all too well, schools produce a huge amount of rubbish and recycling, and that’s why it’s important that pupils, staff and visitors have access to bins wherever they are, both inside the building and outdoors. By providing recycling and waste around the school, being green will become second nature to children, and they’ll carry this on throughout their adult lives.

Bins will also help keep your premises looking clean and attractive, which is not a bad thing for your school’s reputation, or for the inspections that you obviously want to pass with flying colours.
