ECO Council

Our ECO council work hard to make sure our school is as ECO friendly as possible.

What goes in what bin?

Following a visit to Ardley Energy Recovery Facility our Eco-council is on a mission to either promote or transform the way that you recycle.

Your green recycling bin – South Oxfordshire District Council

The best recycling is clean, dry and loose. If using a sack please make sure it is clear and not black or coloured. Please make sure you rinse your recycling before putting it in your green bin. Food waste, black bags, nappies and textiles are not recyclable inside your green bin and can mean a whole streets’ worth of recycling gets rejected by our recycling facility.

Here’s a list of the things you can put in your green recycling wheelie bin or sack.

*If you’re looking to get rid of items that could go to a new home rather than the bin see our Reduce and Reuse page

Plastics

  • Cleaning product and beauty product bottles
  • Drinks bottles with the tops on
  • Food and drink cartons (like soup or juice cartons)
  • Food trays (including black trays)
  • Ice cream tubs
  • Large sweet tubs
  • Margarine tubs
  • Plastic milk cartons and bottles
  • Yoghurt pots
  • Carrier bags

When possible, please squash the bottle to make more space in your bin.
