Tilehurst primary school wants your plastic to help it win a new playground
Park Lane Primary School needs your help in its quest to win a playground with a frame made from 100 per cent recycled materials.
The Tilehurst school is taking part in the contest to win the resource made from recycled plastic food storage containers and lids, as well as reusable plastic water bottles and caps.
The school is asking people in the community to help in their efforts to win the playground, by bringing their used plastic food storage containers and lids, reusable plastic water bottles and caps to the school’s collection box. The school collection bin, next to the library at the Infant Site on School Road, is open to the public from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. The school which collects the largest amount by December 18th will win.
To participate in The Sistema® Recycled Playground Contest, primary signed up to the Sistema® Food Storage Container and Reusable Bottle Free Recycling Programme. This free programme is for all containers, lids, plastic bottles and caps, which cannot be recycled through conventional kerbside recycling collections and would otherwise end in landfill.
The recycled playground will include two slides, an approach ramp with rope and a large joining platform amongst other features. The winning and runner-up school will win a Sistema lunchbox and water bottle for each pupil.
Head teacher Mrs Browne said: “This really is a great initiative that will not only help our school but also our environment, whilst educating our pupils and the local community on the importance of recycling.”
