CHILDREN at a Taunton primary school welcomed a special guest to learn about taking care of the environment.

The pupils at Lydeard St Lawrence Primary School were visited by Cathy Karniewicz - aka Mrs Recycle.

She taught them the three Rs of waste management - reduce, reuse, recycle.

They learnt about reducing the amount of waste we make, reusing items like drink bottles and yoghurt pots and recycling a range of materials like glass, paper and cardboard.

She shared her top tips for using rubbish for compost in the garden and reducing the amount sent to landfill sites.
