Children's Recycling Resources

                    Teaching children about recycling, litter and waste issues provide essential life lessons. Learning how our actions impact our environment creates life-long, positive habits. 

                

We hope you enjoy these recycling teaching resources for children, now tailored for at home teaching during the Coronavirus outbreak.
