Setting Up or Revving Up Your School Recycling Program
Resource Renew’s school recycling program offers technical assistance and signage to help area schools divert recyclables and organic waste from the landfill, see our Reducing Waste at Schools page and contact us to find out what resources may be available for your school.
Area schools with the greatest success tend to have a dedicated group of facilities managers, educators, and parents, all working together to maintain a consistent program over time.
