Recycling Updates

Starting March 2nd we will no longer be collecting juice pouches for recycling. The volunteers will only be responsible for collecting the chip bags from the cafeteria. A new program will be starting- collecting Elmer’s Glue stick containers effective immediately. Only glue sticks, not bottles. There will be a box placed on the stage to collect them. The recycling committee will be working with the teachers to help us collect them in the classrooms. Thank you to everyone for helping our gators go green!
