Could your school use outdoor recycling bins or durable tableware and trays to replace disposables? Does your school need materials to start a cafeteria sharing table and food donation program to keep food from being wasted? If so, apply for a 2017 District Priority Grant. We are especially interested in projects related to public recycling, waste reduction/reuse, and food rescue.

Plastics that can be recycled locally cause the most confusion. Help us promote proper recycling by hanging this
Recycle Plastic sign around your school and share the following facts during announcements. Educate your parents, too, and add this information to your newsletter.
- Where we live, only plastic bottles and jugs can be recycled. Never put plastic cups, plastic tubs, or plastic bags in your recycling.
- Recycling 12 plastic bottles saves enough energy to power an air conditioner for an hour.
- Recycled plastic bottles and jugs are made into new products such as plastic containers, carpet, plastic strapping, and drainage pipe.
- Plastic is made from oil, a non-renewable natural resource.
To receive free technical assistance, indoor recycling containers, and signage to start or improve your school recycling program email Cher Mohring
