It's not WASTE until it is WASTED!
With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting（分类） the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled(循环再用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. Old bikes can be given to the volunteers, it will be fixed up and given away to the poor kids. We can also donate our old clothes to the charity.
The followings are some instructions for you.
Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles.
Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste.
Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled.
Warning: Paper tissues （餐纸） and wall paper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately.
PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging.
Warning: Plastic pots （e. g. yoghurt pots）, plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste.
Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries（电池）, paint and oil …
Besides, if you don't need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We're going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don't have enough money for a bike.
