At Te Rimu School, the student council started a recycling system to reduce waste in classrooms and the staffroom. Brightly labelled bins were placed near the library, hall, and canteen. Students learned which items could be recycled, such as clean paper, cans, and some plastic containers. Each Friday, a group of volunteers checked the bins and emptied them into larger containers. After several weeks, the school noticed less rubbish in the skip bin and a cleaner playground. The principal said the new system showed that small actions can make a big difference to the environment.

The school bought new bins for the library and hall. The playground was cleaned every Friday by volunteers. The principal wanted the school to look brighter and more modern. Students were taught how to sort rubbish to reduce waste.
