A proposal requesting for a donation of bins has been sent to Zoomlion. The initial response was very positive, however we have not received any indication as to how many bins will be provided (and how much, if anything, they will cost). We are expecting to find out within the next week or so. As usual, the plan is to keep you posted, so keep checking back.
It is looking likely that the responsibility for recycling plastic sachets will remain with the canteen lady at Kinbu (she has been doing this for quite a while, and it would be unfair for us to 'take over'). She receives a certain amount of money from a recycling company each time they collect plastic waste from her. At present, she only recycles the plastic she collects from the canteen, so what we want to do is to is to make it easy for her to recycle plastic waste from the whole school compound. We'd arrange for her to receive slightly more than she does for the waste she recycles at present.
SPPC do not provide money in exchange for collecting paper, but instead give free toilet roll. We are still investigating other options for paper recycling. Due to the fact that the volume of recyclable waste Kinbu produces may not yield a significant amount of money (should we find a company that agrees to give money in return for paper), Databank will add their waste paper to the collection.
All revenue from the recycling will go towards a funding an extra Zoomlion collection day. Should there be any left over after this, those funds will go towards a 'Kinbu Fund', which will form a base fund for the SIG to use for their projects.
