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.

Recycling School Products

Greetings. Today, I would like to talk about recycling. Does your child's school recycle paper, tin cans, paper products, and plastics? As a teacher, do you recycle? There are a lot of materials in the classroom that can be recycled and is easily done. Students can can be encourage to get involve and to learn why it's such an important act towards preserving our environment.

During lunch time, I have seen students throw away plastics, food waste, and milk cartons in alarming amounts. This shouldn't happen. Recycling is not difficult to do. It just takes some extra time and it's fun!
