I have helped coordinate school recycling at two of my children's schools. We are very fortunate in Hamilton County, Ohio to have assistance from our Solid Waste District for resources and educational information to get recycling going. The key to starting and maintaining school recycling is involving everyone in the process. The janitorial staff does not have to bear the burden and cause objection if each classroom manages their own recyclables. Cardboard boxes work fine, you don't need fancy bins. Students are more than willing to help out, then the adults can't refuse. Don't give up!
Everyone helps with school recycling
