Recycling at Park? A Response from Don Kinney
October 23, 2008
The students were correct, last spring I had detention students help me with the routes upstairs and they were instructed to empty the recycling into the trash, it was a one time thing and it was kind of an emergency. I no longer have detention students helping. The students were also wrong, we do recycle every day, but we need your help. If we find trash in the recycling we empty it into the trash, we do not sort. There is a list on all the recycling baskets that tell you what can be Co-mingled, but we are finding other things like candy wrappers, coffee cups, food wrappers, food waste, Kleenex, pencils and pens. So if you see your fellow students, teachers, administrators, or custodians throwing the wrong items in the wrong baskets, call them on it. Right now we have two dumpsters for trash and one for recycling; our goal is two for recycling and one for trash. If we work together we can do it. GO GREEN
