Recycler Robot Visits Southwell Primary School

Recycler Robot visited Southwell Primary School as part of its tour to spread the 3Rs message of “Reduce, Re-use, Recycle” to local schools.

The robot educated children on various methods of reducing their garbage, local recycling and realization of 3Rs at schools as well as at homes. The robot also entertained children by performing toe-tapping rap dance.

Helen Collings, Teacher and Eco Team Leader of Southwell Primary School, has mentioned that the visit of Recycler is part of their ecology preservation initiatives. She added that their eco team is supporting recycling methods in the school as well as in their community.

Collings stated that the visit of Recycler robot had enabled small children to better understand recycling concepts and also highlighted the message of 3Rs to grownup children in an interactive method.

Shirley Barre, Waste Watch Outreach Education Officer demonstrated Recycler to several hundreds of Southwell students. She stated that children can easily correlate with Recycler as the robot is almost their age and height. She added that the 3Rs message is very vital for small children. She believes that children will spread the message of recycling.

Dorset County Council collaborated with Waste Watch to introduce the Recycler program in schools.
