0:00:23 > 0:00:26This is Logan and he is four years old.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29What are you doing?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Logan likes to play with his trucks.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34What do we put in it?
0:00:34 > 0:00:40- Put bin rubbish in.- They do. They put the rubbish in that, don't they?
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Do you want to come and see what is down here and have a play?- OK.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Today, Logan is going to do something new for the first time,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49but what will that be?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51This is Logan's memory box.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55It helps him remember all the exciting things that have happened.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57See if you can spot what goes in it today.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Just in time.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03It's bin day and Logan and his mum are putting out all the rubbish.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Pop it down. Stand back.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Look at all the different bins that need to be emptied.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, Logan. Doing the recycling. Well done.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16There goes the paper.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Thank you.- Is that ours?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Now it's time to empty the bin that is full of glass.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28He's going to put the recycling in.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30They use these bins for the recycling.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32The driver has a surprise for Logan.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Do you want to sit in the wagon?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Do you want to have a look inside? Go and turn it off?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Logan gets to sit in the driver's cab.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Where do you tip it?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45We go and take it up to a big building
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and it gets taken and it gets sorted again.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51So all the hard work you are doing, we use it again.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Logan, do you have any toys like this truck?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- A big one.- You've got a big one?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Yes.- Does the back go up?- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Does it push all the rubbish out? Do you pretend it's got rubbish in?
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- Yes. I've got real rubbish. Cotton wool.- Some materials.- Glass.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- And paper. Yes.- Well, keep up the good work.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Thank you very much.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Bye. Thank you.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23The first thing to go into Logan's memory box is the recycling truck.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Don't forget to put the bins back, Logan.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Recycling is when we re-use things we no longer need.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36We can recycle lots of things around the house, like paper, glass,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38plastic jars and metal cans.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41They can all be turned into something else.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43It means we don't waste so many things.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Recycling is good, as it helps protect the world around us.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Logan wants to do his own recycling,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52but he needs his own bins to put it in.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56He's come to a place that takes everyday objects and reuses them.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01This is Ruth and she helps make new things out of old things.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Hi. Is there something that you are looking to make today?- Bin monster.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Bin monster? Well, if you follow me,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'll show you where all the stuff is that you will need.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Look at all this stuff. I'm sure you could make a bin monster with this.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21The first thing Logan needs is a bucket to make his bins.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Bins!- Yes. Why don't you have the one with the handle?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Pop some hair in it.- What are you going to do with that, Logan?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32We can always come and get some more after. Lovely.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Will you pop some in mine, please?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- What's next, Logan?- Now I've got the beard.- You've got the beard?
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- It looks like you've found some eyes.- We'll pop those in yours.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I wonder what Logan will use the cardboard for.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48A kind of orange.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Like this.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I think I saw some good arms down here. Look at those.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Great choice, Mum.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58That's it.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Now we have everything we need to build some bin monsters.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Spread your fingers like this. Let's make monster hands.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09The hands will be made with the cardboard.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Lovely. Come around here.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Let me have a look. Bring it with you. That's it. OK.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Do you want the big one on this
0:04:16 > 0:04:19or would you like two little eyes on this?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- Too little eyes.- Too little eyes. Lovely. That's one.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That's a bin.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29OK. Now, these eyes are on here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Let's do this one.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37That's it. Is it going to be for paper
0:04:37 > 0:04:39or for metal or for plastic?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- No, that one is going to be for paper.- Paper. This one paper.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45So, which is this one? Metal or plastic?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Plastic.- Plastic. So that one is metal.- Yes.- OK.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Three eyes for the paper recycling monster.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- So many things that we can re-use again.- OK, I've got a mouth.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Would you like the mouth?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03He's got an open mouth.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07And then a closed mouth.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Really sticky, aren't they?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Ruth comes to see what Logan has made.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15That is for plastic bottles.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22That's paper and that is metal, plastic bottles.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The monster's hair looks really funky.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Shall we go and find some stuff to recycle?- Yeah.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Good job, Logan.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34I'm sure those recycling monsters will gobble up your rubbish.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39The second thing into the memory box are the bin monsters.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44OK. Now we've made your bins, which one was which again?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47That one was plastic.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48That one was metal
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- and that one was...- Cardboard.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yeah.- We haven't got cardboard, have we?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56OK. Where do we get cardboard?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Toilet.- Yeah, we find some in the toilet roll, don't we? OK, let's go.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Great. Get them. Let's put them in the cardboard monster.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Well done.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I wonder what is going in the second bin monster.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Some of my plastic planters.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- What's that?- Plastic.- There's one.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Brilliant. OK, come around here.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Any more?- There's one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28OK, great. Right, let's go and put them in the monster.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33OK, put it in the plastic monster, the yellow one.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42OK, so, we've got cardboard monster.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43He's got some.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46The plastic monster has got some.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Has the metal monster got any?- No.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- We have to find some metal for the metal monster, don't we?- Let's go.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57What do you think, where the metal will be? Where would it be?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- The kitchen.- Brilliant. Let's go.- OK.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- What comes in that tin?- Beans.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Beans. Brilliant. And that's metal.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Let's go and put it in the monster. - No.- No?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Come on. He's hungry. He's got nothing in him.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19I guess the metal monster will be happy with that bean tin.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Gobble, gobble, gobble.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28The third thing in the memory box is the recycling.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Logan has come to the recycling centre with his mum
0:07:31 > 0:07:33to empty his bin monsters.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- So, we've come to do our recycling now.- Yeah.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Shall we do the cardboard first? - This one.- OK. Great. Oh, look.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41That says cardboard.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Look at all these boxes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Right, shall we go and do the other things?- Yep.- Good lad.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Which monster will be next?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- The plastic or the metal?- Ready?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Tip them out.- It's the metal.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yeah. Brilliant.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Let's go and do the plastic. Last one.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08OK, hard plastics.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh, good.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Now they are emptied, your recycling monsters can be filled up again.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21I wonder where all the plastic goes from here.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24In order that our rubbish can be recycled,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26it all has to get processed.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That means separating everything into the right piles,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33like metal and paper so it can then be turned into something new,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35like tin cans and paper cups.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Logan has come to see where his recycling will end up.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41As there are lots of big trucks,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Logan has to wear a hard hat
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and bright vest so the drivers can see him.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Wow. This place is massive.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53This is where they separate the general waste and recycling.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56The first thing to get loaded up is everything that can't be recycled.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59The man that's sat in it is going to pick that general waste
0:08:59 > 0:09:01up in the bucket like he's got there now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06He's going to tip it in the top of the HGV wagon.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Ah, look. It's the recycling truck from this morning.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Let's see what they are doing.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17The truck is emptying. Can you see what is coming out?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Milk bottles, cans, plastic bottles.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24We put some milk bottles in at the tip, didn't we? We recycled.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- It's all in there now.- It's going to start tipping. Wow.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31That's right. All the plastics.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34But wait, where are cardboard and paper?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Oh, wow.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Ah, they are in the other half of the truck.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Look how much paper there is.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Do you think our egg cup and toilet rolls are in there?- Yes.- Yes.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Now it's been sorted, it's going to be made into new things.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54The fourth thing in the memory box
0:09:54 > 0:09:57is the truck from the recycling centre.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Today, Logan went recycling.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Do you remember what happened?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Let's have a look in the memory box.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08First, Logan saw the recycling trucks taking away his rubbish.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Then Logan went to see how we can re-use things
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and made some bin monsters to collect his waste.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Next, Logan fed his monsters with his household waste.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Finally, Logan went recycling
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and got to see where his rubbish went.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Today, Logan went recycling.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28There is a first time for everything.
