Recycling+at+School


=Recycling at Maine East =

====**__Paper __ **==== We have blue bins in every classroom to collect paper. Abbitibi pays us for our paper, so the Sophomore Class Council and the Ecology Club use it as a fundraiser! [picture of blue bin]

__**Plastic, Aluminum & Glass** __
In every department office and in the student and faculty cafeterias we are able to recycle these items. ARC is the company that picks these up. [picture of our cafeteria and department office bins]

__**eWaste** __
The Gifted Lyceum has a fundraiser to collect old cell phones and ink cartridges for recycling.

Also, when we have our Earth Day Oak Savannah work day (April 19) we could sponsor a collection of eWaste in our community as part of the EPA Great Lake 2008 Earth Day Challenge http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/mar2008/2008-03-14-093.asp



**__Waste Awareness Campaign__**
We have posters of Photographic Artist Chris Jordan's images and statistics about paper, plastic, & aluminum cans up around school. Our team is creating a big display of his artwork in the Science Wing to educate others in a creative way about our trash.
