What to do with your old analogue (non-digital) TV? Recycle it!


Analogue televisions are about to be phased out - the digital changeover is coming.

T.V. takeback is coming to a place near you.

Visit  http://tvtakeback.govt.nz/

or check the flier distributed to Greenhithe School families

to find out where to take your T.V. for recycling.

Recycling old televisions has these benefits:

It keeps unnecessary bulk and toxic leachates (like lead-contaminated water) out of landfills.

It releases elements for re-use: e.g. aluminium, glass, steel, iron and copper. 

Not only that, but when you take your TV to recycle, 
you can nominate Greenhithe school to win 
a Samsung digital prize package. 

Save the kiwi week - Room 12's contribution

During Save the Kiwi Week, middle school children learned all about the kiwi. 

Room 12 decided to create a 'Save our kiwi' poster 
to put in the window for their families to see.

Many thanks to Mrs Restall-Shaw for supporting these keen environmentalists.
