The Howick High Eco Club and Recycling Managers were proud to install a new set of recycling bins in their quads this term. We were able to purchase these bins with the Makro voucher that the school received from Wildlands in association with Nedbank and the Clothes for Life Campaign. We are grateful to Wildlands for sponsoring the stickers to label these bins.
Howick High has been involved with recycling for 8 years now and we plan to continue growing the recycling system in our school in order to benefit both the environment and our school grounds.
With the rebates received from Wildlands for the recycled waste that we collect, our Eco Club has been able to take part in various water-wise projects.
The school is currently involved in a grey water challenge where each class is encouraged to bring grey water from home every “Water Wednesday”. The Eco Club have been using this grey water to water the gardens around the school grounds, as well as the cricket pitch. This has turned out to be very successful and is saving huge amounts of water.
