Recycling around the school campus, but mainly recycling at lunch time. This includes directing the other kids on what can and cannot be recycled and washing anything that needs to be before it can go in the recycling bins. So far this year they have saved over 2,253 Ziploc and other plastic bags from going into the landfill (see photo attached)!! This is not counting the many other plastic containers and paper they have also recycled along the way. They have also done a great job in influencing and educating their fellow students.
