Improved Sustainability – New Waste Management
Along with most other schools in South Australia, Brighton Secondary School has made the transition to a new waste management system where our waste is separated into 4 streams:
- Blue (Paper & Cardboard)
- Green (Organics)
- Yellow (Recycling)
- Red (Waste)
Instead of going into landfill, our waste stream will now be used as an alternative fuel source and we are excited by the opportunity to reduce our impact on landfill.
Students are being provided with information and signage around the school to assist with this transition but the waste streams are very similar to those you would find at home, so parents are encouraged to support their students to understand separating their waste into the different types of bins at home. For those interested, short courses on the new waste stream have also been provided which families are welcome to access.
