Talk about the school\u2019s clothing drive in class<\/h3>\n<p>Teachers and school personnel will receive PDF documents about the event that can be shared with the students and placed on the school walls. Teachers, make sure the kids understand the purpose of the event by covering the 5 Ws: WHEN, WHERE, WHY, WHAT &amp; WHO. This information will also be posted on the Super Recycler\u2019s website on a page created specifically for your school. Additional information on how to prepare for the clothing drive is available on our website and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SuperRecycleurs\/\">Facebook page<\/a>. We also encourage you to broadcast a reminder of the event on the intercom or write it on the boards a week before the clothing drive.    <\/p>\n<h3>2. Share the Super Recyclers\u2019 Games<\/h3>\n<p>Find lots of fun activities on our website\u2014print them out or use them directly on a tablet. Download them easily from the \u201cLEARN\u201d tab on our site. Come back and visit us regularly: new activities will be added throughout the year!  <\/p>\n<h3>3. Get the green committee involved<\/h3>\n<p>If your school has a green committee, why not make them participate in sharing information about the life cycle of textiles and the event? You can ask them to read out details of the clothing drive on the school\u2019s intercom system or go around classes to talk about it. <\/p>\n<h3>4. Do fun activities revolving around the theme of clothing<\/h3>\n<p>To get your students mentally ready for the event and open up the discussions about recycling, textile life cycles, animals and ethics, why not have fun with the theme of clothing one week before? You can have your students wear: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>pyjamas<\/li>\n<li>sports clothes<\/li>\n<li>a certain colour<\/li>\n<li>fancy day<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;upside down clothing&#8221; day<\/li>\n<li>\u201cdress like your parents\u201d day<\/li>\n<\/ul>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_ohd6662 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_2 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column tb_p71w662 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_x8nw205   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3>5. how our video on how to participate in the clothing drive without using plastic bags<\/h3>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superrecycleurs.com\/en\/100-textile-challenge\/\">video<\/a> teaches children how to use old pillowcases, jeans or sheets to donate their clothes instead of plastic bags.

Communicate with the parents about the event<\/h3>\n<p>Send them an email informing them that their school is participating in a Super Recyclers clothing drive. Don\u2019t forget to include our informative PDF file and to direct them towards our website and Facebook page. They will see that by donating their clothes, linens, shoes, etc. they participate in a social movement and help to finance a school project. It is also helpful to print posters and place them on the school doors so that the parents see them when picking up their kids.   <\/p>\n<h3>2. Talk to your community about the clothing drive<\/h3>\n<p>Encourage the staff, teachers and parent committee to share the Super Recyclers\u2019 website page about your school on their social media. Some parents may also mobilize their workplace to participate and donate clothes. Why not also contact the local newspaper and radio stations? Or even get your city involved? Some towns have electronic news billboards that can display the information about your Super Recycler event.    <\/p>\n<h3>3. Encourage parents to clean their wardrobes with their children and donate plastic-free<\/h3>\n<p>Parents can prepare the plastic-free donation \u201cbags\u201d with their children. An informative step-by-step <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superrecycleurs.com\/en\/100-textile-challenge\/\">video<\/a> on our website shows you how to turn pillowcases, jeans or sheets into a bundle. Paper bags used to collect leaves or lawn clippings can also be used.  <\/p>\n<h3>4. Make sure parents know what they can donate and what they can\u2019t<\/h3>\n<p>This information will be present on the Super Recycler information PDFs as well as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superrecycleurs.com\/en\/faq\/\">FAQ<\/a> section on our website. We accept new and used clothing for men, women and children, bedding, towels, curtains, accessories, handbags, backpacks, shoes, toys in good condition and plush toys.

Therefore, it is important to get them motivated and informed. <\/p>\n<h3>1. Talk about the school\u2019s clothing drive in class<\/h3> <p>Teachers and school personnel will receive PDF documents about the event that can be shared with the students and placed on the school walls. Teachers, make sure the kids understand the purpose of the event by covering the 5 Ws: WHEN, WHERE, WHY, WHAT &amp; WHO. This information will also be posted on the Super Recycler\u2019s website on a page created specifically for your school. Additional information on how to prepare for the clothing drive is available on our website and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SuperRecycleurs\/\">Facebook page<\/a>. We also encourage you to broadcast a reminder of the event on the intercom or write it on the boards a week before the clothing drive. <\/p> <h3>2.

Get the green committee involved<\/h3> <p>If your school has a green committee, why not make them participate in sharing information about the life cycle of textiles and the event? You can ask them to read out details of the clothing drive on the school\u2019s intercom system or go around classes to talk about it. <\/p> <h3>4. Do fun activities revolving around the theme of clothing<\/h3> <p>To get your students mentally ready for the event and open up the discussions about recycling, textile life cycles, animals and ethics, why not have fun with the theme of clothing one week before? You can have your students wear: <\/p> <ul> <li>pyjamas<\/li> <li>sports clothes<\/li> <li>a certain colour<\/li> <li>fancy day<\/li> <li>'upside down clothing\" day<\/li> <li>\u201cdress like your parents\u201d day<\/li> <\/ul>\n<h3>5. how our video on how to participate in the clothing drive without using plastic bags<\/h3> <p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superrecycleurs.com\/en\/100-textile-challenge\/\">video<\/a> teaches children how to use old pillowcases, jeans or sheets to donate their clothes instead of plastic bags.

Communicate with the parents about the event<\/h3> <p>Send them an email informing them that their school is participating in a Super Recyclers clothing drive. Don\u2019t forget to include our informative PDF file and to direct them towards our website and Facebook page. They will see that by donating their clothes, linens, shoes, etc. they participate in a social movement and help to finance a school project. It is also helpful to print posters and place them on the school doors so that the parents see them when picking up their kids. <\/p> <h3>2. Talk to your community about the clothing drive<\/h3> <p>Encourage the staff, teachers and parent committee to share the Super Recyclers\u2019 website page about your school on their social media. Some parents may also mobilize their workplace to participate and donate clothes. Why not also contact the local newspaper and radio stations? Or even get your city involved? Some towns have electronic news billboards that can display the information about your Super Recycler event. <\/p> <h3>3. Encourage parents to clean their wardrobes with their children and donate plastic-free<\/h3> <p>Parents can prepare the plastic-free donation \u201cbags\u201d with their children. An informative step-by-step <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superrecycleurs.com\/en\/100-textile-challenge\/\">video<\/a> on our website shows you how to turn pillowcases, jeans or sheets into a bundle. Paper bags used to collect leaves or lawn clippings can also be used. <\/p> <h3>4. Make sure parents know what they can donate and what they can\u2019t<\/h3> <p>This information will be present on the Super Recycler information PDFs as well as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superrecycleurs.com\/en\/faq\/\">FAQ<\/a> section on our website. We accept new and used clothing for men, women and children, bedding, towels, curtains, accessories, handbags, backpacks, shoes, toys in good condition and plush toys. We do not accept carpets or pillows, or any form of garbage. <\/p>\n\n<p>Above all else, don\u2019t forget to have fun!
