Recycle Everything '99!

This year's recycling work at the Middle School built on the foundation that was started but had the added benefit of a district mentorship carried out by Jennifer Kalvass. the Recycling Club was formed with students meeting at lunch time. A recycling logo contest was held throughout the network and Recycling Club members will all get a tee shirt with the winning design. A careful examination of the district's waste bills resulted in a saving of thousands of dollars by making a small change in the waste collection schedule. Waste audits were conducted at the Middle and Grammar School and the students took field trips to the local recycling center in Ft. Bragg and the large collection center in Santa Rosa.
Some of the recycled paper is shredded and added to the worm bins.
There are lots of cans to recycle!
The recyclers worked with Karen Gridley from Waste Management to set up a waste audit. Data was collected for the group to analyze to see how efficient the recycling efforts were.
Students in the Recycling Club pick up paper from around the schools each week.
