Classic Greenhouses School kids in England have been competing for the title of top recycler after being challenged to see which school can recycle the most plastic bottles.

Essexs Go Green 4 Schools Campaign is running the competition, which looks to see which school has the most recycled bottles per student.

The prize is a fantastic £3,000 eco-garden and a solar powered weather station for the winners and another solar powered weather station for the runners up.

Basildon Council cabinet member for the environment Terri Sargent said it was a great prize and a great opportunity for the pupils.

"This is a brilliant chance for schools to win a prize which will produce a lot of fun as well as encouraging youngsters to learn more about the world around them," she said.

"All those taking part will get a lot out of the competition and perhaps pick up new ideas on how to go green and set up special projects for their own schools."

The eco-garden will be designed by a professional horticulturalist and will be adapted to the environment of the winning school.ADNFCR-1495-ID-18762985-ADNFCR
