Henrietta Hippo at Hallam Fields School

Henrietta Hippo at Hallam Fields Junior School in Sheffield for compostable waste.

 

"Thank you very much for the Hippo bin! it has taken pride of place at the bottom of our steps on the school playground. We wanted this bin for fruit and vegetable waste from morning breaks and packed lunches. It is easy for the children to remember what to put in the compost bin now it is a hippo, as hippo's don't eat plastic (although she does eat cardboard boxes!). We have had an assembly to remind the children what to compost in the hippo. Gardening Club then remove the bin from the hippo and transfer the fruit waste to the compost bins, near the school vegetable patch where it is used to help grow vegetables. There was much excitement when the hippo came onto the playground and she is a cheerful addition, especially on dull, cold days!

Many thanks from all at Hallam Fields Junior School"
