School pupils from Rickmansworth have been the source of inspiration for a local artist who borrowed ideas from the pupils to come up with diverse recycling characters for a sixty metre banner.
The banner was designed by artist Pam Storey Johnson and was inspired by the ideas of five to six-year olds hailing from four schools namely Arnett Hills Primary School in Berry Lane, St Mary’s Primary School in Stockers Farm Road, St Peter’s Primary School in Church Lane and St John’s Primary School in Berry Lane.
The artwork will be used at the official launching of the renovated, bigger and enhanced Rickmansworth Waste Recycling Centre in Riverside Drive on Tuesday next week.
Guests at the launching ceremony will comprise artist Pam Storey Johnson, representatives from various organisations which have been instrumental in the redevelopment of the Rickmansworth Waste Recycling Centre and the local school pupils.
Artist Pam Storey Johnson was highly impressed by the ideas the children had as well the attitudes they had towards recycling efforts. She was hopeful the children would carry on their eagerness for recycling into the future.
The upgraded Rickmansworth Waste Recycling Centre will possess twenty two containers for general and green waste. There will also be additional containers for the recycling of a wide range of materials including wood, paper, glass and plastic bottles, cardboard, textiles, foil, cans and scrap metal.
The upgraded site will also have expanded parking space and will now have a capacity of thirty three motor vehicles enabling the users of the recycling centre to off-load their waste more easily. The opening hours have also been extended.
