Recycling at school is a great way to teach students important environmental lessons while empowering them to do good.
The Virginia Recycling Association has put together A-Guide-For-Implementing-A-School-Recycling-Program with step-by-step instructions that will have your school recycling in no time! Your local recycling coordinator is also a great resource.
If funding is hindering your recycling program, check out the askHRgreen.org mini-grant page. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis.
