Organics Recycling Begins at Rollingwood

We started our Organics Recycling Program today at Rollingwood.  Students and staff are making an effort to reduce waste and save money through decreasing the amount of our garbage collection bill.  I have a few pictures to show how it went today.

 Unopened food items ready for recycling
 Recyclables are paper, glass, and some plastic items.
 By recycling our trash is reduced by 80%.  This is all of the trash we produced during lunch.

 Organics bins with food products, some paper, and our new compostable trays.
All of the trays we used today.  That's over 100.

    Thank you for teaching our kids that there are simple ways they can make a difference in the world. I hope this can be replicated in other schools to give the school district more dollar savings on garbage disposa, and perhaps allow us to hire a FT PE teacher.
