South Grove Recycling Project
Help us recycle and raise funds for our school!
We're excited to share some fantastic news with you all! South Grove Primary School has started to recycle with TerraCycle®'s Green School Project. Contributing to it helps our school raise funds and teach the importance of recycling to empower future generations to take action at no cost to you!
How it works
- Students, teachers and the staff can drop off their hard-to-recycle rubbish at our recycling point.
- Once we have a full box, we send it to TerraCycle® (using a free shipping label).
- TerraCycle® awards us points that we can redeem for donations to the school.

A couple of tips:
- Start collecting accepted items in a box at home and bring it in once it’s full.
- Please make sure only to drop off accepted items (listed above).
- Items don’t have to be fully cleaned, but please remove as much product (e.g. crumbs) as possible.
- Please drop your items into the correct boxes.
