Recycling Bottles and Cans

I was talking with Rosalie Morris of CR&R Waste and Recycling Services, and she mentioned a recycling program available to all schools. They will drop off an outdoor container for bottles and cans. It is large - 22' x 8' - see photo. When the container is full, call them and they'll pick it up, recycle the items and send your school a check. See the attached letter for more details.

Thanks for your efforts to "green" our schools. Email me if you have other resources to share and I'll post them here.
