Lesson Summary

- understand that a waste management system includes the containers in the school used to collect different types of waste and the processes used to deal with them
- understand that a school uses large quantities of paper but applying the principles of the Waste Hierarchy can drastically cut this usage.
Success criteria
Students can:
- identify waste problems in their community and make a plan for addressing those problems.
