Recycling Program Information
How can you support the school's recycling program?
- Bring in all your empty drink containers, cans and bottles (no dairy or soy please) and drop them off in the big blue bins in the recycling room (inside the north entrance to the school, beside the gym doors) or in one of the round blue bins you can find in the hallways.
- We're also looking for several volunteers to help us sort the incoming recycling - once a week, once a month... you decide how often you are available and we create a schedule to cover the weeks. This is a simple job that can easily be done after school along with your child(ren) if you want. Gloves are provided.
- And lastly, we're looking for 1 or 2 people with a truck or a (mini)van to help with the weekly pick-ups. The time commitment for this would be about 1 hour per month, preferably on Sunday or Monday evenings.
The money collected from the recycling goes to support student enrichment opportunities such as field trips, materials, equipment and technology - things that are needed to improve education in our school.
Thank you to all those parents and family members who have volunteered their help. We would also like to thank the Fish Counter and the Five Point restaurant for donating all of their refundable containers to the school since the fall of 2015.
If you have any questions about our recycling program or if you can help with either pick-ups or sorting, please email Caroline.
