Borker Red Bin Association Issues Stern Reminder: Staff Only

The Borker Red Bin Association, in a statement issued on Tuesday morning, would like to remind students that the red bins distributed throughout the school grounds are strictly for staff use only.

The Association, which was formed in 2019 following what it describes as "a series of concerning incidents" involving students disposing of items in red bins, has noted that any student found using a red bin will face disciplinary action up to and including expulsion.

"The red bins are a privilege, not a right," said the Association's convenor, in an address to the Senior School. "They are for staff. Staff have red bins. Students have other bins. This is not complicated."

The Association has clarified that the prohibition extends to all forms of waste, including but not limited to: apple cores, assessment drafts, failed relationship notes, and "whatever that thing was that Year 9 tried to put in the bin behind the Science block last Tuesday."

Students are reminded that blue bins remain available for general waste, yellow bins for recycling, and that the bin behind the Chapel is, for reasons the Association declined to discuss, "best left alone."
