Abstract
Introduction. Environmental pollution by solid household waste is a serious ecological problem, as it causes degradation of natural ecosystems and alienation of territories. There is about 40,000 km2 occupied by landfills in Russia, and this area is constantly increasing, as every year Russia throws out more than 300 kg of waste.
Problem Statement. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop a system of separate waste collection, as well as the formation of an ecological outlook among young people and students and a thrifty attitude to the natural environment. A specific example of this approach is described in this article.
Theoretical Part. Main stages of organization of separate waste collection in school Letovo School, implemented by students, are considered as an example.
Conclusion. 5.6 tons of waste was collected and recycled during the year of operation. The project has received approval in the school environment and can be implemented with minimal costs in almost all Russian educational organizations.
