School pupils across Shropshire have been learning more about recycling this month when ‘Recycler’ the rapping robot visited a dozen local primary schools.
The initiative was sponsored by Shropshire Council's Waste Management section who are working in partnership with the national recycling charity Waste Watch.
The talking robot delivered action-packed inpsiring educational and fun assemblies where he raps/sings, moves, lights up and interacts with pupils to teach them how to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Throughout the performance, Recycler shows children how they can reduce their waste and put the three Rs into practice at home and at school, for example by making full use of local Council recycling schemes. This is all ultimately helping to reduce the environmental and financial burden of sending waste to landfill in Shropshire not just now but for the future as well.
Shirley Barre, Education Officer with Waste Watch, said:
“Every household in the UK throws away over one tonne of waste each year, and more than half of this could be recycled. A visit from Recycler is a great way for young people to learn about how important it is to reduce waste and to recycle as much as possible, at home and at school. Joining in with Recycler’s rap and watching the games, props and roleplays is a great way to remember important messages and take them home.”
Waste Watch, is a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity who advise, educate and inform people on ways to reduce all forms of waste. For more information visit www.wastewatch.org.uk or www.recyclezone.org.uk
