FALL 2009 SPENCER'S HIGHLIGHTS



How many schools recycle in Hamilton County?
Recycling Assistance Program Fall, 2009 Update

How many schools recycle in Hamilton County? What schools have the best programs? To provide accurate answers and to help schools start recycling programs, the District started the Recycling Assistance Program (RAP) in 2005. The goal of the program is to assist schools in developing sustainable recycling programs.

Through the RAP program, recycling coordinators are trained and asked to submit an individual recycling plan for their school. Schools who register with the RAP take advantage of the extensive support of the District, including free recycling containers, classroom presentations, school assemblies, field trips, student incentives, grants, training and lesson plans.

One of our most recent schools to join the RAP family is the entire Wyoming School District. Beginning in the fall, all public schools within Wyoming will be recycling, conducting waste audits, and providing educational opportunities for students and staff. Spearheading the “Go Green for Wyoming Schools” effort are parent volunteers Heidi Spicer, Tracy Payne and Kendall Marty, along with other parents and staff at each school. Thank you Wyoming School District for setting the example!
