An introductory letter about the “Rag Bag” School Recycling Scheme and registration details will be sent to individual schools – the letter will be sent by Gayle Martin the “Rag Bag” Recycling Officer or the Recycling Officer/Waste Education Officer/Waste Awareness Officer from the Local Authority.

Schools can register easily on-line via the “Rag Bag” website or by faxing, e-mailing or posting the registration form to Gayle Martin.

Schools interested in participating in the scheme will receive a “Welcome” pack with details of the collection process, posters to display around the school and bags to go home to parents or guardians.

Collections will take place throughout the school day (drivers are aware of break & lunch times). Bags of textiles will be counted and weighed on school premises (if the collection is very large, it may be weighed back at the factory).

After a collection, participating schools will receive a “Thank You” letter and a “Congratulations” certificate detailing the quantity of bags collected/amount of money raised and of course a cheque!!!
