Recycling Centre by Sean

At 1pm on Tuesday, August 30^th Room4, Room5, parents and staff went to the Timaru Recycling Centre.

When we arrived two roosters crowed at us. Briony had some yellow vests for the children and orange vests for the parents and staff.

Then we headed to where they sorted out the paper and the rubbish. When the machines were working it was loud but it looked really cool.

 After that we went back to the cars and we drove to the compost centre. When we got there it smelt really bad but after awhile it didn’t smell so bad. Then Briony started talking to us about what happens with the food scraps and other things we put in our green bin.

She explained that the digger grabs the compost out of the truck and puts it into a shredder waiting for the next step.

Then we saw the compost with very expensive covers over top to protect it and keep it warm to make it really good compost. At the end Briony said that Timaru had one of the best recycling centres in the world.

This is where they sorted out the glass and the paper.

This is the compost with the very expensive cover on it.
