America Recycles Day November 15th
Get ready to put on your recycling superhero cape because November 15th isn’t just any day – it’s America Recycles Day! This nationwide celebration is all about showing some love to our planet by making recycling a part of our daily routine.

Take the pledge to join the recycling revolution and make every day a recycling day!
Trex Recycling starts on November 15th. Sign up here if you are interested in recyling plastic film. I have 5 scales to assist in weighing.
Recycling Signage. Drumroll, please, as we unveil the new recycling signs customized specially for schools. But don’t worry, you can still recycle your waste with the old ones. However, if you want the look, and I’ll happily print them from my budget! Many of you filled out the sustainability advisor needs form and I will start to work from there. If you are a dual immersion school, I would love to have the new ones printed. You can check them out here. We added more items and clarity.
