A RAPPING robot will be visiting schools this week to recruit youngsters into the battle against waste.
Cycler, accompanied by an education officer from Waste Watch, will be teaching children how to tackle waste through reduction, re-using and recycling their rubbish.
The school sessions feature the robot dancing and rapping about recycling in an interactive show.
Education officer Carrie Gray said: "Every household in the UK throws away just over one tonne of waste per year - of which around 75 per cent could be re-used or recycled to avoid wasting valuable resources.
"Cycler raps and talks to the children about this.
"They quickly learn the message and soon join in - it's a message they also enjoy taking home."
