Part of being an Enviro School is our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint on our earth. One way we can do this is to reduce the amount of waste we produce, by repurposing or recycling it. Milford School works with TerraCycle in Australia. We have been a community collection hub for oral hygiene products for several years already. We have recently become a community collection hub for writing instrument recycling. That means all pens, whiteboard markers, vivids, mechanical pencils (but not ordinary pencils). For either waste stream, we need to collect a minimum of 5kgs worth of products before we can ship it to Australia. For every item we send, we receive points.

The points we earn are turned into cash we can use to continue to do awesome projects as part of our Enviro School.
Please send your used oral hygiene products or used writing instruments to Room 19 / Mrs von Collas. Tell your friends, neighbours and relations about this initiative. Reduce your landfill waste output and reduce your environmental footprint, one step at a time.
