Scoil Mhuire Kilvemnon

Recycling is very important to us here in Kilvemnon.
We always
Reduce
Reuse
and Recycle
In Kilvemnon we are doing our bit to help in the race against waste.
If you would like to help us why not drop in to the school:

• Ringos
• Old Clothes
• Used Mobile Batteries
• Used Mobile Phones
• Used Ink Cartridges and Drink Cans

We will recycle them for you!!

We shred paper to give to PAWS Animal Welfare Shelter.

They are located just outside Mullinahone village. Some of our students volunteer at this shelter at the weekends.
If you would like to learn more please click on the PAWS logo to connect to their site.

The waste we create doesn't just vanish once it leaves our front gate/office. The total amount of waste collected in Ireland is estimated to be over 2 million tonnes per year. In 2001 0.25 tonnes of commercial waste was collected per person in Ireland. The majority of this waste (76.2%) ended up in a landfill site - this method of waste disposal is very bad for the environment and our economy.
