In 1980, as a young teacher, I did a 'recycling' project with my students and an organisation that I was a member of. By then people no longer took their bottles back for the pennies.
We collected coco cola bottles door to door one Saturday morning and returned them to Coco Cola for money. The school children did all the 'advertising' for us by telling their neighbours and having the bottles ready for us when we arrived at their street. It was very successful and we raised over £1000 and bought a guide dog for the blind.
Today I'm still doing recycling projects with my students except now we collect old mobile phones, CD's, and DVD's and recycle them for the Jack and Jill Foundation.
Some things haven't changed for this 'old' teacher:)
