A unique recycling scheme has been launched at a Pembrokeshire Secondary School.
Greenhill School in Tenby started recycling all its paper and plastics on Monday.
The scheme is part of the school's new recycling policy aimed at making the school environment as sustainable as possible.
It originated in an environmental group set up two years ago by students Matthew Tebbutt (Year 13) and Scott Lewis (who has now left).
The two youngsters worked closely with staff to highlight environmental issues and set up a small pilot paper recycling project in the sixth form. The project was so successful that it was decided to take it a step further and create a whole school scheme to add to the existing recycling of mobile 'phones and ink cartridges.
Tesco in Pembroke Dock donated 200 bins, allowing the scheme, which will be overseen by geography teacher Sandra Spratt, to start operating this week.
Two new bins will be placed in every classroom for paper and plastics. The bins will be emptied by students into a large recycling bin every Friday, before being taken away to be recycled. Students will receive a 'Green award' worth 30 merits for taking part.
Clr. Huw George, Pembrokeshire County Council cabinet member for the environment, praised the initiative.
"In this day and age it is increasingly important to be environmentally aware," he said. "Schemes such as this start youngsters on the right path, which they will hopefully continue as adults."
