SWACO's school recycling resources were developed to provide teachers, students, and custodians with a variety of activities and tools to implement comprehensive, sustainable recycling programs.  Resources are available to assist with outreach, education, and best management practices to help schools Recycle Right!
 
In exchange for receiving recycling containers from SWACO, schools will be asked to commit to assessing the current recycling program, adopt recycling best practices, and educate staff and students with educational resources provided by SWACO.

Upon completion, schools will receive a certificate of excellence and banner, and SWACO will publicly recognize each school for its efforts to become a Recycling Champion!
