RecycleRight App. Open the app, set it to City of Fremantle and have a quick look around to
familiarise with the app.
Step 2: Using the instructions, search, download and save images from Brittania Image Quest of
the 20 household waste items listed.
Step 3: Using the RecycleRight app, determine which of the 20 items can be placed in the yellowtopped recycling bin, which can be placed in the green-topped general waste bin and which
shouldnt go in either.
Step 4: Open up a new Popplet (www.popplet.com). Using the images saved in step 2, create a
mind map that can be used at home or at school to help with recycling.
Step 5: Embed the Popplet into the class Titan-Pad.
Step 6: Scan the second QR code to download the Lunchtime Legends app. Have a go at using the
knowledge of what goes into each bin to play the game.
