Primary School Eco Group visit Linwood Site
March 2009
Children from St Mary’s Primary School in Paisley were given the opportunity to gain VIP access to The William Tracey Group’s Recycling Plant in Linwood. The children included members of the School’s Eco Committee who were there to gather some valuable information on the importance of recycling and what happens to our waste.

Tours of the site were given and then the children created posters to encourage the re-use of plastic bags and recycling of bottles and cans.
