Op shop surplus rescue: a school project

The problem. Surplus goods pile up in storerooms. Who it helps. A school: students sorting and redesigning surplus, with a teacher in charge. What you start with. Surplus items an op shop cannot sell. What is delivered. Items are sorted and passed to makers who redesign them. It fits a school term, with the teacher in charge of timing and safety. How progress is known. Items passed on are counted. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Items must be clean and safe. Child safe practice applies: parent or guardian permission, adult supervision, privacy protection and an inclusive setting. Items are described accurately, in line with Australian consumer law, and custom made or refurbished items are disclosed.
