Litter lessons for Ashfield kids

Pupils from Ashfield School learned to avoid becoming litterbugs when the award winning Bin It! tour visited.

Years 7, 8 and 9 took part in interactive role playing and drama sessions during the visit by the Bin It! team on Friday.

Bin it! is targeted at 11-13 year olds and is designed to explore the issues and impact of littering, helping students to understand why it is so important to take personal responsibility for correct litter disposal.
