Peter Nyholm is nearing completion of a new recycling station at LHS. The station will look very much like our present stations, but some of the dimensions, and functionality of the station has been customized for special uses. Peter made these design advances in Mr. Waltz's CAD (Computer Aided Design)class.
Last year, AP Environmental Science students Brooke Betts and Christina Barras developed a service-learning project to customize a recycle station for use in the Big Gym. They wanted a special station well suited for that application. Brooke and Christina developed a financial grant, gained funding, and started the ball rolling for the building these stations at LHS.
Mike Waltz and the students of the Green Engineering Academy got involved with the design, then Mr. Porter's Wood shop students got involved in the building of our new customized recycler.
Soon, with paint, and some fine tuning, our prototype "Homebuild" recycle station will go into service.
