At 1 pm on Tuesday August 30, Room 4, Room 5, parents and staff visited the Timaru Recycling Centre. We went because our focus is caring for our environment.
When we arrived in our car groups we got introduced to a rooster’s crow, loud trucks dumping recycling and a really nice smell.
The first place we visited was where the bottles come through massive vents. The paper makes a huge paper mountain, the plastic bottles fall into one big cage and the glass bottles into another.
Then we got back into the cars and drove up to the compost area and that even smelt better than when we first got to the Recycling Centre. While we were there we were all shocked by how big the machines were and how some machines worked.
One thing I was really surprised about was the things that people put in the bins like lawn mowers, plastic bags and glad wrap because they should go in the red bin.
My favourite part was when we went to the compost area because of how it smelt.
