Recycling During Lunch Hour

Hello. Recently I worked at a Middle School in Oregon that had an effective recycling program during their lunch. Containers were individually labeled with pictures. There was a huge bin for students to put their forks and spoons into, another for food waste material and then a hand crunchier for milk cartons. Each student passed through quickly and systematically and it worked.

Your students could design such a recycling program. The cost of starting a recycling program is relatively cheap. You need to purchase several huge bins for placement of each plastic or food item. Then find a farmer or an orgainic gardner who would like the food waste. You can use and reuse and feel positive that you are contributing toward the betterment of are environment.
