The Q Recycles

The Idea

Do you want to help students in your school recycle right AND save your school money? The Recycle Across America Schools Program is the program for you! Recycling is one of the most important actions society can take to simultaneously help the environment, the economy, manufacturing and to prevent waste from going into oceans -- but recycling doesn't work if society is confused at the bin. Currently, recycling is in a serious crisis, and the main reason is contamination. People want to recycle right but they are confused with the mixed messaging presented at recycling bins in various communities and settings. This confusion leads people to throw garbage in with the recycling -- causing contamination of materials that could have been remanufactured. The society-wide standardized labelling system helps to eliminate the public confusion surrounding recycling and to improve the economics of closed-loop manufacturing. Schools are an important part of the recycling solution and here you can find all you need to start a successful school recycling program.

School districts that have adopted this standardized labeling system have increased recycling rates by as much as 50-240% and saved significant money in trash hauling fees. Your school can order standardized labels and access lesson ideas and a comprehensive toolkit that will help you roll out the program. Get started today!

Our plan is to first inform the other student population and school staff on what it means to recycle and how to properly do it. We will work with teachers and coaches to set recycling bins in specific areas of the school (cafeteria ,commons area and around exits). With this funding we will buy bins and bags that will be used to hand out and collect plastic bottles from athletes after practices and at sports events. Our school will benefit from this project by having our student population and staff be knowledgable about recycling and the change it have in our school. We want to make recycling a norm. Furrthermore, we want to be able to present our project and impact to other schools in our district in hopes to make this a sustainable district-wide project.
