Green Schools Committee – Deposit Return Scheme
The Green Schools Committee is delighted to announce that St. Marnock’s NS is taking part in Ireland’s Deposit Return Scheme.
This national scheme helps to reduce waste and encourage recycling by placing a small refundable deposit on plastic bottles and aluminium cans. When bottles and cans are returned, the deposit is refunded – and St. Marnock’s is using this as a fundraiser to support our school activities.
To make it as easy as possible, we have set up orange Deposit Return bins outside the school each morning. Children and families are encouraged to bring in their empty plastic bottles and cans (with the deposit return logo) and place them in the bins.
By taking part, we are:
-
Raising funds for our school community
-
Helping to reduce waste and litter
-
Protecting our environment through recycling
A big thank you to everyone who has already supported the initiative. Together, we can make a positive difference for our school and the planet! 🌍♻️
