Trip to the Recycling Centre

As part of our topic "Why waste: Is that rubbish?" the Junior Middles visited the Masterton Recycling centre. We got to see heaps of neat stuff, and even sort out some recycling ourselves. Here are some photos:

These are hundreds of aluminium cans crushed up into blocks. We saw them crush one.


Before they are crushed, a special magnet picks out any tin cans that have been mixed in with the aluminuium ones.

Cans going into the crusher.


This huge truck arrived and dumped all its cardboard for recycling!
