Study of the waste generated in the yard
In this table we can see the type of waste, the material it is made of, the container it should go in according to the type of waste and how much of each type of waste we have found in our school playground.

It can be seen that by far the most abundant waste is aluminium, followed by plastic, bricks and finally paper.
Map of the school playground
This is a plan of our school playground, the circles are the places in the playground where the rubbish bins are located.
In our school, there are 17 outside bins, 14 inside bins, 2 battery bins, 2 paper recycling bins, 1 large organic bin and 44 (approximately 1 per classroom) A total of 80 places where you can throw things. They seem sufficient but they are not correctly located since there are none in the new building and the interior bins are very close together and there are floors like the second one that do not have these bins.
