THE pupils at Fossa National School were keen to learn all about best practice in recycling when they launched KWD Recycling’s “Recycle Right” campaign.

The team from KWD Recycling led a fun-filled workshop which proved to be a big hit with students.
Recycle Right is an exciting new project and educational video aimed at primary schools.

It follows on from the success of the “KWD Kids Recycling” programme in 2010. “This new drive is for third and fourth class primary school students in particular as it is in line with the school’s current curriculum strand, A Sense of Place – Strand Environmental Awareness,” said Noel O’Reilly of KWD Recycling. “Their aim is to enable students and teachers to understand the role of recycling and how to dispose of their waste and recycling correctly and responsibly.”

The KWD “Recycle Right” pack includes an 18-page booklet which contains fun facts and quizzes. “It is important to teach people about the latest recycling practices and where better to start than with the younger generation,” said Noel.

“There is no other initiative by any other company or government body like this anywhere in Ireland and KWD Recycling want to change that trend, and in turn educate the children of today for a better tomorrow.”
KWD Recycling is also running a competition to build your own Kenny the KWD truck where the winning school will win an iPad and a field trip to the new state of the art recycling facility. You will find all the instructions on how to build Kenny the truck plus access to many more games and quizzes online at www.kwdkids.com
