Effective immediately, all students are asked to take home all recyclables from their lunch kits. The school will continue with the composting program already in place; however, students will be supported in placing all wrappers, containers, etc. back in their lunch kits to return home and be recycled at home. The challenges of supporting a school recycling program have begun to far outweigh the educational benefits. Our school recycling program presents the following challenges:
- considerable impact of the program on valuable instructional time
- difficulty managing the cleaning and maintenance of recycling bins
- a lack of storage of the recyclables on the school premises
Sincerely,
