Description

Aim: To think about litter and encourage the young people always to put their litter in a bin. Taken from the BB Anchors Pro Pack community C-15

Resources

• Plastic gloves
• Waste paper bins
• Recycling boxes if your area uses them
• Plastic sheeting

Activity 2
• Black sacks or bags
• Disposable gloves
• Litter picker (option)
• Large sheets of paper, colouring pencils/pens, glue

Instructions

What’s in the Bin?
Bring in a bin and empty contents onto a plastic sheet. Identify the materials in the bin (these may be pre-selected.) Why are they thrown away?

Could certain items be recycled?

A lot will be packaging materials. Explain to boys how all of the waste material costs money to produce and then disposed of.

Recycling: (Dependent on your area)
• Some local authorities provide households with recycling bins. Show these and sort out materials that could go in.
• Arrange a visit from the recycling officer.
• Explain how recycling helps the environment.

Litter Collection:
Instructions:
• Look at your church grounds. Can you see litter? What sort of litter is it? Where did it come from?
• If safe and appropriate, have a litter collection to tidy up the grounds.
• It may be possible to have a walk in the church area identifying where litter is a problem. Can they identify why this is?
• Design a group poster to stop people from dropping litter. These could be displayed in the church or could be more effective if displayed in local shops, public notice boards, etc.
