Recycling Landfill Waste Resources

Parents, children, teachers and the local community collect waste resources for our recycling scheme which raises money benefitting the children, school, and the environment.

This scheme was introduced in Autumn of 2012 by one of the parents Carrie Cort, founder of a green initiative called www.sussexgreenliving.co.uk. 

This community initiative is a website, network and green children's club which inspires families to live greener and more sustainable lives.  

The waste resources are sent to a company called TerraCycle. TerraCycle work with manufacturers who want to be responsible about their waste resources, so they sponsor our recycling scheme to ensure that the waste does not go to landfill. 

Thank you to everyone who collects for William Penn, you are raising money for our children and for helping the environment for future generations.
