Recycling Toolkit

To support the council's ambition to reduce contamination in dry mixed recycling, we have launched a children-focused campaign, called 'That's not my recycling bag'.

Using a format most children will recognise from the popular book series, the campaign highlights the top contaminants found in dry mixed recycling across our borough and encourages children to make sure the adults in their home 'take two seconds to check whether items can or can't be recycled in Hillingdon'.

In this digital toolkit, you'll find a short video for you to show in class, featuring the top items children need to keep an eye out for and help make sure they are not going into the recycling - at home or at school.

You'll also find some fun, recycling-themed activities for you to print off as and when you need them, as well as some top tips to help your school recycle as much as possible and a printable certificate for any standout performers in your classes.

We'd really love it if you can accommodate some of this into your lessons during the term and help with our ambition for educating children and their families and creating a greener future.

If you'd like to arrange a visit to your school from our recycling team to talk about this in more depth, please email recycling@hillingdon.gov.uk
