🔄 The Recycling Collection has been designed to help you and your young people Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. With three themed badges and over 120 creative activity ideas across their matching challenge packs, this set encourages children to give old items a new life. From upcycling and junk modelling to DIY bird feeders and community swaps, there’s endless fun in finding creative ways to reuse.
Available as a free digital version or as a full-colour print, this resource can be used independently or as part of the Recycle badge journey. Full of food, craft, and game ideas, the challenge pack shows how reusing can save money, reduce waste, and spark imagination.
With special thanks to Sisters Against Plastic (Teresa Walters and Mary Strong) and Victoria Staras for their support in creating this pack.
