School Recycling Resources

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
Benjamin Franklin

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!

Does your school need recycling containers?  To qualify, schools must be located in SWACO's jurisdiction (central Ohio) and must have an outdoor recycling dumpster with collection and haul-away services in place.  Approved schools will receive financial assistance to support the purchase of recycling containers for classrooms and other areas of the school.
