2. The rubbish bins in the school are not
“glamorous” enough for pupils to notice
and use! We want to highlight the positions
of the rubbish bins in the school and shed
the limelight on the bins. When the other
pupils are attracted to the bins’ beautiful
exterior, we can use this opportunity to
emphasize on good rubbish disposal habits
and keeping our environment clean!
1. Using and electronic device to
generate music or an interesting
sound whenever someone opens
the bin throw litter
2. Placing scents near the bins to
make litter throwing a good
smelling one
3. Paint the dustbins to give them a
fresh new look which will be
captivating to the pupils
We decided to paint the dustbins in our school. We started with one bin. We painted a rubbish bin to
make it look like a monster. Many pupils were amazed by it. It naturally drew plenty of attention. We
used it as a publicity stunt to encourage proper disposal of litter. We also took advantage of the ‘design
a bin’ contest organized by the National Environment Agency’s (NEA). We promoted the contest by
pasting posters all over the school. We also got the Primary 4 prefects to include the ‘monster bin’ in
their school assembly presentations on keeping the school clean. Our ultimate aim is to paint all the
bins in our school by either holding a bin painting competition at the school level or by promoting the
classes to adopt dustbins.
