1 Reduce 3R Objectives: describe ways their actions can reduce garbage identify items that can be reused, recycled and composted understand the 3R s and C are a hierarchy Our First Class/School Garbage Monster Intro: Use the following activities and worksheets to create two garbage monsters made from your class or school s garbage, one made before waste reduction education and the other after. If possible, keep the first garbage monster a secret until you are ready to collect the waste, that way all your garbage-free education and efforts will be measured by the second garbage monster. Materials: Garbage Monster large piece of paper glue and/or tape poster marker scissors Garbage Collection student handout Student Waste Collection # (different levels available) class worksheet Summary: Our First Garbage Monster rubber reusable gloves and/ or tongs sorting station (e.g. bags, wire racks and liners, plastic totes or other sorting system) tarp scale (optional) Before the Waste Audit 1. Determine when and where the waste audit will happen An afternoon waste audit may be more representative of waste created in a day, depending on when your garbage and recycling bins are emptied. Which rooms are included? (e.g classrooms, hallways, offices, teacher s lounge, cafeteria) Do any rooms require permission or assistance to gain access? Which bins are included? (e.g. garbage, recycling, compost) For a more complete waste audit, measure all waste types, even items in recycling and compost bins. Which bins are excluded or should be visually inspected only? (e.g. bathroom paper towel and food waste bins) 4
2 Reduce Activity Activity 1. Have students collect the waste and recyclables from designated areas using gloves and/or tongs. Note: The time of day impact collection results (e.g. in the morning after recess versus after lunch). 2. (Optional) Sort and measure the waste into categories and complete the student handout First Waste Collection. 3. Combine the results and complete the class worksheet Our First Garbage Monster 4. On a large piece of paper, outline your garbage monster. 5. Glue all the waste inside the outline and cut out the monster shape Review: 1. Review each of the items on the monster: Is there an alternative that would produce no or less waste? (reduce) Could the item have been reused? (reused) Could the item have been recycled or composted? (recycle and compost) Define your waste reduction goal(s) e.g.: οο οο no contamination (e.g. all recyclables in the recycling and only garbage in the garbage) reduce the overall amount of waste produced (recycling and composting included) 2. Remember the 3R s are a hierarchy. The easiest product to manage is the one that is never produced. REDUCE is the most important R is because it is preventative and does not need resources to do it. Garbage, recycling and composting all have a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) impact. DID YOU KNOW? CRD s Community Clean Up Program supports groups that make visible environmental improvements to their community through organized clean-ups. Learn more and apply for funding at $$$ 5
3 Reduce Activity Did you know? The CRD conducts Solid Waste Stream Composition Studies every five years. Discover how much of what we throw away could have been recycled or composted: service/waste-recycling/ solid-waste-management Conclusion/Discussion 1. What is the primary source of garbage for your garbage monster? Is it lunch waste? 2. Brainstorm ways to reduce the highest volume waste in your garbage monster. (See extension activities for ideas) 3. Display the garbage monster in a high traffic area to raise awareness and inspire action. 4. Before building your second garbage monster, learn about local garbage and waste reduction options: CRD 3R Hierarchy Educator s Guide available online free-ofcharge at Learn about the history of our garbage from 1900 to today, from burning, dumping and sanitary landfilling.
