Stage 1 -
Planning
1. Carry out a study (audit) of your current waste creation and disposal processes to establish baseline
data. Record it to analyse and compare future data.
2. Highlight the issues, set goals and targets.
3. Develop an action plan and determine how and when you will achieve set goals.
4. Ensure you have incorporated in your Action Plan:

§ Incorporating activities and learning into the curriculum

Review and Monitor

plementation process.
2. Don’t lose sight of your goals. Decide what worked and what didn’t and develop a method to fix it!

cess and ideas! A good report would document the following:

§ Measurable results of those initiatives (reduction in collections, number of bins)
§ Cost savings achieved
§ How you incorporated recycling into the curriculum, learning outcomes used
§ Indirect benefits eg. decrease in littering, increase in student pride/involvement
