The 16-year-old Grade 11 student at Stanley Humphries Secondary School picked up first place and $25 Tuesday in a contest to design recycling boxes for primary school classrooms. John Eggleton, vice-principal at Castlegar Primary, initiated the “little” contest back in September after re- ceiving approval for an $1,800 grant from the Shell Canada Environment Fund. “I went over and gave them infor- mation about what the primary envi- ronment is all about — what kinds of paper uses go on, what kids bring in their lunches and so on,” Eggleton said. “Then the students, through (draft- ing teacher) Don Lust’s direction, set out to design recycling boxes which had a functional component, too.” Lust involved his Grade 10 and 11 drafting students in the project, giving himself and Eggleton about 40 designs to choose from. ‘The main thing about mine is that it’s small and simple.’ — Brian Port The guidelines were simple, Lust said. “The elementary schools have limit- ed space, the classes are quite large and the kids use an awful lot of paper there, everything from computer paper to white paper and colored paper,” he said. “So basically (the box designs) need- ed three bins for recycling the three dif- ferent kinds of paper and two bins for other things — one for plastic bags for kids having lunch because they eat in the classrooms, and the other for those drink boxes. “And they should have a little work space on top and easy access for the kids. Basically that was all and the kids were allowed to be as creative as they wanted,” Lust said. And creative they were — Eggleton said he was “absolutely blown away” by what the students came up with. However, it was Brian’s design that had everything they were looking for. “The main thing about mine is that it’s small and simple,” Brian said. Looking at his design, he points out three slots for paper, a top counter that can be used for a work space, and a storage space for scrap paper, glue and scissors. On the side, there are holes for plastic lunch bags and juice con- News photo by Doana Bertrand Brian Port goes over the final details of his design for a recycling box before it's sent to the construction class where Grade 11 and 12 students will build a prototype. tainers. “Then you open the doors and you have access to get the paper and stuff out,” he said. The design mggsures the box at 65 centimetres high? 90 cm. long and 40 cm. deep. The next step sible. “It has potential,” he said. “It would be fantastic if others saw the value in it. We hope at least in our district other pri- mary classes see some value in it be- cause at this time, we don’t have a con- sistent means of collecting and reusing challenge to the drafting students, a re- al work scenario for them, and also to put something in the primary environ- ment which is more practical and func- tional than just a box taking up space.” Equally important, he said, is that the recycling box will be a symbol to the young students is to build a proto- type from Brian’s design which will be done by Lust’s Grade 11 and 12 construction class. ‘If it goes over well, they want us to build seven of them for the pri- maries. And, if it works out well again, I imagine the rest of the schools might just buy into it.’ “jn terms of the di- rection our society is encouraged to be headed as far as reuse, reduce — Don Lust, SHSS drafting teacher #4 recycle goes.” Brian, a mem- “If it goes over well, they want us to build seven of them for the pri- maries,” Lust said. “And, if it works out well again, I imagine the rest of the schools might just buy into it.” Eggleton said that, and more, is pos- our paper waste, plastic bags and the tetra juice boxes.” However in the meantime, the con- test did do what was intended, he said. “] guess our goal was to provide a ber of the school’s environment club, agreed and said he hopes the schools do pick up on recycling boxes. “| think it would be good, not neces- sarily this box, but I think people need something like this for better recycling.”
