We provide some links and commentary below on good resources for teaching recycling to students and school pupils.
Teaching recycling to students: waste resources page
The first port of call on our website should be our waste resources page. On this page, we provide access to up-to-date waste industry information sites such as EPA websites in each state and other useful sites in helping improve recycling, etc. and decreasing costs for businesses.
The first document we always recommend in teaching recycling to students is our own “Free Business owners guide for waste services“. In this free document, we cover (in a light and plain English manner) questions such as:
- Can recycling often be cheaper than throwing everything in the rubbish bin?
- How long do you want to sign a contract?
- Is your bin the best size for your business?
- Can I book additional services when I have a busy period?
- Will my prices increase over time?
- Can I use my environmental performance for advertising?
- Are some landfills better than others?
- My supplier claims my General Waste is recycled. Can this be true?
- People have been talking about bin weights and density. What is that about?
- Why would I want a lock on my bin?
Australian waste industry overviews
If you want more in-depth coverage of the Australian waste management industry, the following papers certainly are packed with detail – if a bit dry for casual reading. Again, these are listed in our waste resources section.

Tips when teaching recycling to students
Resources found in books and online can greatly help students learn more about what they need to know about recycling. However, guidance by the older generation (i.e., starting with their parents, then their teachers, etc.) will work wonders.
Teaching students some recycling methods at a very young age is a good idea as it ingrains the teachings into their brains (and hearts), which will result in them becoming more responsible when they grow older.
In this section, we enumerate some teachings in recycling we can impart to students.
- Teach them also about the importance of reducing and reusing. Recycling is a good option, but it is not always the best option as many may expect. As the uber-popular saying goes, “reduce, reuse, recycle“. Make it known to them that they should consider reducing and reusing waste first before recycling them.
- Boost students’ recycling efforts by teaching them the proper bin colours. Bins of different types have many colours. Students will find it more fun and visually appealing when they see bins with different colours and will them memorise where they should dispose of their waste.
Conclusion on teaching recycling to students
I think that should be enough info to get any student or school group off to a good start (teaching recycling to students). We always welcome students or school groups seeking information. Send us an email, message, etc. if you have any queries.
