Remember to RECYCLE

As we clean up the boxes, wrapping paper and collection of other recyclables, let's remember to dispose of everything sustainably and responsibly.  The more we can keep out of the landfill the longer the current landfill will last.  Most of the Christmas waste can be recycled with the exception of Styrofoam.  In the pictures below Gordon Terrace students are given a tour of our local recycling facilities and taught the value of reduce reuse and  recycle.

Recycle Guides have been available in local papers and a one page downloadable version is available here:

Watch in the spring for a local 'Clean Bin Project' sponsored by Wildsight.  This local project was inspired by the couple who visited our area last year.
