Creating a New Look Bin

See through bins Bella saw in Europe - she thinks this will make people think before they pin things in the bin!

The team with Rikki from Creative Space 

Kids from North Cottesloe Primary Doing More With Less project introduced their friends from MK Western Suburbs Ambassadors to Rikki Clarke, Creative Spaces yesterday at their meeting and started talking about their idea for a see through bin. The team from North Cottesloe PS were keen to see if making a bin see through would get people to think before they binned their rubbish. The see through bin idea developed after Bella had seen some overseas. Alexandra had also seen some interesting public bins in Europe and they was keen to share their ideas. The team from St Hilda's Junior School, Cottesloe Primary School and North Cottesloe PS discussed their ideas with Rikki, drew their concepts and made notes about they wanted to achieve. The bins would be used at community events such as Sculpture By the Sea, Hullaballoo, St Luke's Sustainability Fair to promote recycling and waste education in the community. The kids checked out the www.thefuntheory.com website and showed Rikki the ideas being put in place overseas. Rikki was really inspired by the kids ideas. Rikki will come back to the next meeting to to present the kids with some concept plans. Thanks to the Community Grant Scheme for the Kids Zero in on Waste Grant.
