Vocabulary
Australasian Recycling Label
The Australasian Recycling Label is a label found on packaging that shows you the best way to dispose of different parts of the package. For example, the label might tell you if something can go in the recycling bin or if it should go into the general rubbish. This helps you recycle items collected on Clean Up Day the correct way.
Community involvement
Community involvement means working together with other people in your area to achieve something important. For example, during Schools Clean Up Day, students, teachers and parents all help collect rubbish to look after their school environment.
Data analysis
Data analysis is looking closely at information or numbers you have collected to find out what they mean. For example, after Clean Up Day, you might count how many plastic bottles were collected and use a graph to show the results.
Litter
Litter is rubbish that has not been put in the right place and ends up in the environment, like plastic wrappers or bottles on the ground. For example, during Clean Up Day, the class collects litter that has been dropped around the school.
Waste management
Waste management is the way we handle and get rid of rubbish to protect the environment. For example, sorting rubbish into recycling and general waste bins at school helps manage rubbish properly after a Clean Up event.
