Waste Audit

Bag of Trash:
In this activity our class was divided into groups. What we did was go around the school and classroom picking up trash to show how much trash we have.

















Weighing the bag
:

After picking up all the trash, everyone that had a bag weighed it. Some were pretty heavy, which showed to me that we had a lot of trash around the school.





















Dumping Trash on the Tarp
:

After weighing the trash we dumped it all out on top of a tarp.



















Sorting the Trash
:

While the trash was on top of the tarp we sorted through it to see what types of trash there was.

















Weighing the Piles
:
all the trash was divided into piles; bottles with bottles, glass with glass, paper with paper, and plastic with plastic





















Reflection
:

I think all classrooms should have different kinds of recycle bins, so that the trash can already be divided. Also have more recycle bins around the school so that it can be cleaner and make janitors lives more easier when they clean. In some trash things can be reused, recycled, rot, and reduced. Paper can be reused or even recycled; bottles can be recycled or maybe evn use them again if you just take the time to wash them.
