Repairing our Recycle Stations

Who fixes the recycle stations when they break?

AP Environment Science students were urged to select a project where we can "Think Globally, but act Locally," and to, "Make a difference."  This project involved the difficult task of breathing new life into our aging recycling stations. Many of our recycle stations are approaching seven years old. These stations have been here longer than any of our students. They have have been heavily used and have been sitting out in the elements.

So, repair and maintenance is in order.

The signs have faded, and are being replaced.
Some doors broke off, and have been found, and reinstalled.
The plastic seams were broken on some, and were reglued.
The locks were broken or bent, and were replaced with the redesigned wooden latch.
Some doors warped, and were adjusted to fit again.
Some stations have been used as skateboard jumps, and needed to be sanded.
Most recyclers just get dirty and nasty, and must be scraped, sprayed off, and wiped down.

This turned out to be a huge, dirty job, but these guys are getting it done!

Whenever a person walks by room S4, one of these stations is sitting along side of the building "in-the-process" of being fixed up. Each station has different needs, but looking around campus, most of the stations look pretty good, and very functional, thanks to the work of these AP Environmental Science students.
