Please put your classroom paper, plastic bottles, and aluminum in a classroom recycling bin like in the picture below.



The classroom recycle bins are considered "Mixed Stream" recycling, which includes anything that you can put in your curbside recycle bins at home. This means paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, cardboard. No garbage should go in these bins.
We have many blue and green classroom recycle bins on campus, and we can get more if we need them. Teachers are masters of their classroom, and so it would be good if teachers could keep an eye on their recycle bin, and promote the recycling of all paper, and other recyclables there. If we can keep the 1/2 full Starbucks, the gum, and the spilled chocolate shakes out of the recycle bins, it will make life better for our custodians. The goal is to generate as little actual trash as possible. We don't want our custodians to have to haul mountains of trash. And, we don't want it to fill our limited landfills. If you need more bins, or want plastic liners like in the photo, contact Bailey and we will make it happen.
