What can you do to help us keep our school grounds litter free?

For some time now, Marshland School has not offered rubbish bins for lunch box rubbish.  However, despite this, we still find we have lots of stray rubbish laying around our grounds at the end of morning tea and lunchtime.

How can you help?  We are encouraging you to try having wrapper free lunches.  All food that comes in wrappers or packets, is removed before it gets packed into the lunchbox and disposed of or recycled at home.  By doing this step before the lunchbox comes to school, as opposed to being done at the end of the day would help us limit the stray rubbish significantly!

There are various options for how this can be done such as:

* Bento style lunch boxes that have separate compartments

* Reusable containers from home that fit in bigger lunch boxes

* Reusable Beeswax food wraps (an example in the photo below)

Our ECO Leader and her team are doing all they can here at school to make us more ECO-friendly, and this would be another fantastic achievement for us.

We now have reminder posters up around the hubs to encourage litter-free grounds.

We appreciate your support and help in maintaining Marshland School being Litter Free.
