Can Crusher

During the recent Repak National Recycling Week, the students of 6R Applied Leaving Certificate class set up a recycling stand in the dining area of the college. Monaghan County Council provided a can crusher, leaflets and posters. The dining area was transformed into a veritable recycling bank. Students crushed cans, bagged white paper, coloured paper, plastic bottles and sweet wrappers. 6R encouraged and advised the general school population on their recycling endeavours in the hope that the knowledge acquired would inspire those at home to recycle more!

The following week, 6R brought all the recyclable material to the Recycling Factory in Cremartin where they saw how recycling actually works. Although Recycling Week at the college has officially ended, it is hoped that the students will continue, both in school and at home, to recycle as many materials as possible and thus, play their part in protecting the wonderful environment in which we all live.
