The Highland Council has given us at Gergask Primary School a challenge to recycle paper.

In January 2003 this project was started in Inverness and was very successful.

All the schools in Badenoch and Strathspey started recycling their waste paper in January 2004. This trial will operate until the summer term. We hope the scheme will continue for much longer.

Recycling paper is a good idea because landfill sites are filling up fast and we are running out of space for rubbish. The more paper we recycle the fewer trees we cut down.

In class we have blue recycling bins in every room. Then we weigh it all and put it in a big bin out side.

If we collect 2KG for every child in the school every week we will get a Gold award from the Highland Council! !
