RECYCLING turns things into other things… and that is MAGIC!
It still amazes me at the beauty that can be found by someone who takes the time to perceive objects in a different manner. With a little bit of imagination, we can illustrate how easy it is to recycle and reuse so much of what we would normally throw away … thereby giving our children the satisfaction of creating whilst saving our world little by little!
Below is a list of items to collect. Please feel free to offload at reception.
