2.\u00a0Return and Earn<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0Gioia House Action Team\u00a0<\/em>has implemented a Return and Earn Scheme that encourages the Gioia House girls to deposit eligible containers in an attempt to reduce the amount of recyclable containers entering landfill, while raising funds to support the composting program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\u00a0Composting<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0Gioia House Action Team\u00a0<\/em>has also implemented a composting program whereby suitable organic waste is collected during recess and lunch in small composting bins, before being added to the larger composting tumbler bins. The composted waste will be used to fertilise the soil of future gardening projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
