Waste Audit


The classroom trash was a good activity. We learned alot by seing what students throw away in our school. We had each a bag of trash that each class had to sort out. There was many different recycable trash that we could have used instead of throwing it to waste. For example there were pieces of paper and plastic bottles,things that we could reuse in the future.








We also weighed the bag to see how much the trash weighed. It was surprisingly heavy,well not much but more than usual. Here we had to get the scale to weigh the heavy bag before spraeding out the garbage.














After we weighed the garbage we dumped out the trash and sorted it out to put the trash in its corresponding recycling bin.







We then sorted the trash and put them in the bins to recylce. People didn't want to dig in and sort the trash out because it was nasty. There some food bowls that still had some food remainings and bottles with water in them. It was a good experience to know how janitors feel when cleaning after our mess. At the end, we had everyhting sorted out and ready to be recycled.
