Jayne Venables from Orkney Island's Council came to speak to our class about recycling.

She told us all of the things you can recycle at home, and gave us a sticker for our bins to remind us. We saw videos on what happens to Orkney's recycled aluminium cans once they've been sent to England. 

There are five main household waste recycling centres in Orkney and all the rubbish collected from these goes to Chinglebraes Waste Transfer Station (it is just out of Kirkwall, on the main road that takes you to Orphir).
