Earth Day Songs

Recycling In My Home

(to the tune of "The Wheels On the Bus")

Recycling in my home goes round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
Recycling in my home goes round and round,
All through the day.

Tie up the papers and take them back,
Take them back, take them back.
Tie up the papers and take them back,
All through the day.

Crush the cans and take them back.....
Rinse the milk bottles and take them back....
Save the glass and take it back......

Working on the Trash

(to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad")

We've been working on RECYCLING All the trash we can,
We've been working on recycling, It's a very simple plan,
Separate your glass and paper,
Separate your plastic and tin.
Take the trash that you've recycled To your recycling bin!

We've been working on REDUCING All the trash we can.
We've been working on reducing It's a very simple plan.
Don't go wasting any products, Use just exactly what you need.
Don't buy things in extra wrapping, Reduce and you'll succeed!

We've been working on REUSING All the trash we can.
We've been working on reusing, It's a very simple plan.
If it's a paper bag you're using, Don't use it once, use it twice!
Give old clothes and toys to someone, To reuse them would be nice! 

Reduce Reuse Recycle (to the tune of "The More We Get Together")

Reduce Reuse Recycle Recycle... recycle
Reduce Reuse Recycle It's easy to do
Cause your trash And my trash
Make up way Too much trash
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Its easy to do! 

Down at the dump Sung to: "Down by the station"
Down at the factory early in the morning,
See the recycling trucks standing in a row.
See them dump the plastic

In a great big pile, dump, dump, toot, toot
Watch them go.

Substitute plastic for metal, glass, paper, bottles, cans, etc. . . 

Recycle for our earth
Sung to Mary Had a Little Lamb 

Hear the cans go crunch, crunch crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, Hear the cans go crunch, crunch crunch, Recycle for our earth. 

Hear the paper go crinckle, crinckle, crinckle...crinckle,crinckle,crinckle,...Hear the paper go crinckle, crinckle, crinckle...Recycle for our earth. 

Hear the bottle go ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,
Hear the bottle go ding, ding, ding
Recycle for our earth.

I'm A Piece of Litter (Sung To: "I'm A Little Teapot") 

I'm a piece of litter, Pick me up,
Put me in the garbage, Or recycle me,
When you do this, You'll make the earth,
Much more beautiful, For you and me,

See the pond all grimy, Help clean up,
You'll see more happy faces,
Where ever you go,
You'll make the earth more beautiful than ever before,
You'll be able to hear it say "Thank you!"
