Waste Reduction
Recycling Bins
Not all classrooms had recycling bins. The Green Team, a group of students who meet every Wednesday during period 8, surveyed the school and found that there were 10 classroom areas that did not have recycling bins. The PTA is working with the Green Team to have members of the community donate their extra recycling bins to our school. Returned older recycling bins are placed in all Clarksville Midde school classrooms. We are reusing the old bins. The request for recycling bins was place in the electronic newsletter that is sent out to the community every other week.
Requesting Recycling Bins Teachers requesting and using recycling bins donated to CMS by families. Starting Tuesday, February 24, 2015, all Clarksville Middle School students, staff, and administration are actively participating in Feed the Green Bin food scrapping program. Four sorting stations are placed in the cafeteria for student use during lunch. One sorting station is set up in the staff lounge for the staff to use. Before participating in the food scrap to compost program, Clarksville Middle School was only recycling 17% of our waste, the rest was going straight to the landfill. |
