Recycling Paper & Plastic for the School

By:

On Wednesdays students in the 5^th grade collect paper recycling bins from the assigned classrooms and office locations.  They are supervised as they carry the bins over to the Abitibi bins outside in the parking lot.  It takes team work to empty the bins and close the tops of the Abitibi bins!  Our nice blue Rubbermaid recycling bins were purchased with funds earned from recycling old printer toner cartridges, cell phones, and laptops.

Plastic is placed in the classroom bins.  On Wednesdays, the 5th graders move the plastic to the 2-hole bin that is usually in the Teacher's workroom.  The plastic is bagged and taken to the Pearland Recycling Center.
