Caerphilly Schools Batteries Recycling Initiative Caerphilly Schools Batteries Recycling Initiative A POSITIVE RESPONSE TO BATTERIES RECYCLING: CAERPHILLY SCHOOLS COLLECT 1.255 TONNES! In December 2011, Caerphilly County Borough Council launched a Schools Battery Recycling Initiative at Fochriw Primary School. The initiative was created to encourage pupils, staff and parents to prevent thousands of used batteries from going to landfill. COMMUNICATIONS An email was sent to all schools with information on the initiative and an invitation to participate. A press release was then issued to the local media. The project was also advertised on the council website, posters were sent to schools and, when delivering talks in assemblies on recycling, Cath Cuss (Public Services) also spoke to the pupils about battery recycling. COLLECTIONS In total, 45 schools took part in the scheme, involving almost 15,000 pupils. Over the spring and summer terms 2012, 1,255 kg of batteries was collected for recycling, the equivalent of over 50,000 standard AA batteries. ERP provided the battery collection boxes and funded GC Enterprises — at the council’s request — to collect and weigh the batteries from each school in June 2012. The total amount of batteries collected at each school was then divided by the number of pupils. AWARDS CEREMONY On Friday 13th July, a special awards ceremony was held at Penallta House Council Offices in Ystrad Mynach for the six schools that collected the most batteries. The six winning schools are shown overleaf. - 2013 UPDATE - In 2013, the schools battery recycling scheme went from strength to strength. The 2013 competition involved 59 schools, and an impressive 18,900 pupils collected a total of 1.511 tonnes of batteries for recycling. ERP supplied the prizes which were awarded to the winners and runners up at a special ceremony in Penallta House: Small Schools (up to 140 pupils) Medium Schools (141-280 pupils) Large Schools (281 & more pupils) 1st Prize: 1st Prize: 1st Prize: Fochriw Primary Crumlin High Level Primary Ysgol y Castell Runner Up : Deri Primary Runner Up : Llanfabon Infants Runner Up : Cefn Fforest Primary High quality, cost effective compliance. www.erp-recycling.co.uk Councillor Gaynor Oliver, Mayor of Caerphilly County Borough Council, presented the prizes to pupils from the following schools in July 2012: Cwmcarn Primary School Llanfabon Infants School Fochriw Primary School Deri Primary School Crumlin High Level Primary School Cwm Glas Infants School RECYCLING IN CAERPHILLY PARTNERS Caerphilly County Borough Council has been at the forefront of battery recycling for several years and provides battery containers for the public at its six household recycling/civic amenity sites. Schools across Caerphilly are all doing their bit to help the environment. In addition to the battery recycling scheme, they also recycle paper, food and are part of the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award. High quality, cost effective compliance. www.erp-recycling.co.uk.

  • “Merthyr Express” 1 January 1910
    “Merthyr Express” 1 January 1910 Gellygaer School Managers: Dilapidated State of Fochriw School The monthly meeting of the Managers of the Gellygaer Council Schools was held at Hengoed on Tuesday evening. Mr. John Jones referred to the dilapidated state of the school at Fochriw. A terrific hurricane, he said, took away part of the roof - half a dozen slates or more - making a big hole; later on, the ceiling came down, so that snow and rain came through. This state of things had been allowed to continue for three weeks. The master had also called his attention to the state of the lobby where children had had to walk through up to two inches of water to get into the schoolroom. The master’s house was also in a wretched state: he had put pans in the bedroom to catch up the water coming through the roof. Also, on Sunday evenings, before he went Chapel, he had to take out the fire because of the smoky flue. Apart of this, the school wall had also fallen on to the public footpath. The Clerk said that this state of things had never been reported to him. Mr. D. Pugh Jones said he had no recollection of seeing a word about the master's house. It was all very well to make speeches and complaints in such a meeting as this, but why were the facts not communicated to him. Mr. W. C. Beddoe drew attention to the fact that the Managers had the power to spend a sum of money for small matters, up to £5, and he thought the local members should have undertaken on their responsibility to replace the slates.
