Over the past few years, Mayfield PS have served as a collection point for the recycling of used Tassimo/LO’R coffee pods, capsules and outer wrappers . This recycling scheme along with other items has helped in raising funds for our school. Since we began recycling, we have raised £703 (as at August 2017).
Unfortunately the recycling organisation, TerraCycle, have recently made changes to their storage/collection requirements, and we as a school, are unable to accommodate such requirements therefore we are no longer able to serve as a collection point as from end of October 2017.
We had approached another organisation within our community, to ask that they may be able to serve as a new collection point on behalf of Mayfield PS, however this was not feasible.
Can we please ask that anyone who may have pods/wrappers piling up at home, hand them into school prior to Friday 14th October, to allow sufficient time for bulk collection to be arranged, prior to cut off date.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have supported us over the years in donating their used coffee pods and remind of other items that we still currently recycle through this scheme.
Items currently recycled are:
– any brand of spray deodorant cans
– biscuit wrappers: any brand, outer packaging and individual wrappers
– Pens: any types, felt tips, bingo dabbers, highlighters, gel pens
Please continue to support us by sending any of the above items into school.
Thanks,
Mayfield PS Pupils, Staff & Community
