Visy Recycling Centre /What I learnt today 2/9/15

Today the 2nd of September 2015 I learnt that if you put any recyclables in a plastic bag it’s going to be a hazard because if you put it in the bin and the rubbish truck comes and takes it to the recycling centre and pours it in the machine the plastic bag is going to block the machine and it will shut down so watch out. Me my family always put recyclable things in plastic bags but now I know we aren't supposed to, I am going to remind them to not put the recyclable rubbish in the plastic bag. Remember don’t put any recyclables in plastic bags!!. Also I learnt that 2.5 million tons of the rubbish around NZ is buried and 8/10 of it could be saved.

On the 2nd of September 2015 Room 15 went to Visy recycling centre to learn about what to recycle and what not to recycle and what they do there. I learnt that if you have a bottle and it's full with a lid and you finish the bottle you have to keep the lid on because if it's open and when it goes to the recycling station the lid could role around, and I also learned that 2.5 million tons of rubbish around New Zealand is buried and 8/10 of it could be saved. Do you recycle your rubbish the right way? and here is one more thing, Do you think New Zealand should start picking up more rubbish?.
