Recycling & Reducing

Here at Wicor recycling is a priority. We have teamed up with different companies to recycle. Lots of children are involved with the sorting, packing and then sending away to be recycled. We know recycling is not the best way of reducing waste which is why we also teach our children about reducing the amount of 'stuff' they throw away and how they can carefully consider whether they need something in the first place.

You can check what we collect on the posters on the bins. Thanks for your support!

We are teamed with Astra Textile Recycling. The clothing bank allows our local community to recycle their textiles while raising funds for the school.

We accept the following wearable items:

All men's, ladies and children's clothing
Paired Shoes
Handbags, bags, ties and belts
Bed linen, and soft toys

We cannot accept the following items:

Duvets both synthetic and feathered.
Pillows & cushions
Carpets & Rugs
Soiled or wet clothing
Workwear
Shredded or mutilated textile material
Textile off cuts, yarns or threaded material

Y2 litter-picked in Porchester highstreet and here's how they felt:

Y2 Litter pick 2025

"I felt sad because animals are eating rubbish."

"I felt upset about humans littering around the world."

"I felt sad for the animals because they can't find a home without plastic."

"I felt angry."

The children channelled these feelings into doing something positive for the community.

Fareham Men’s Shed helped us improve our site by creating a sturdy new shelf for our greenhouse and repairing our welly racks. Both projects were made using repurposed materials, giving items a second life instead of sending them to waste.

This partnership highlights how simple, practical fixes can support recycling and sustainability. By reusing materials already available, we reduce our environmental impact while keeping our spaces functional and well‑maintained.
