Year 4 loved their visit to Wrekenton Waste and Recycle Centre. We explored the site and gained a greater understanding of how different materials are reused or recycled. We were also fascinated to learn about the Energy From Waste plant at Teeside. During our trip, we discussed what each of our different coloured bins were for and we even brought a battery bin to school. It’s important that we dispose of batteries properly and they should never be put in household waste. We also used our science knowledge to sort different materials at the centre into solids, liquids and gases.
