Waste audit held at Ettalong
Ettalong Public School has been involved in a waste audit program organised by the school's SRC and Rumbala Environmental Education Centre.
The school collected all rubbish and recyclables as well as non-recyclables and food scraps to determine its total amount of waste produced in one day.
The total amounts were measured and recorded.
As a result, the school was planning to increase recycling and decrease in general waste, which it hoped would be reflected at its next audit.
The school was also setting up a worm farm and compost bin which would be in place next year to assist in waste reduction.
