Primary schools in Crewe now have their own Junior Recycling Officers after a special fun-filled induction ceremony at the Victoria Community Centre on Friday, October 1.
The pupils were nominated by their fellow students. They took part in a dance-mat recycling challenge, a Love Food Hate Waste activity, a recycling floor board game as well as an exercise promoting composting.
The officers will now be expected to spread the message of the 3Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle, amongst their friends, family and the whole school community.
The children had their new roles explained to them by Waste Education Officer, Lucinda Hodges, and they were then presented with a rucksack filled with all the information they need to get started, including books, posters and stationery.
Councillor Hilda Gaddum, Cabinet member with responsibility for children and family services, said: “My congratulations go to the organisers of the event. The children learned about the importance of recycling in a fun and engaging way.
“The pupils’ parents and teachers were also invited, to what I am sure was a proud day for all concerned.
“Recycling is something we all need to do and I hope these pupils act as green ambassadors and spread the recycling message amongst their friends and family.”
