1) We can now recycle paper plates (small and large) that are being used in the cafeteria. (We are no longer using Styrofoam in the cafeteria. That’s a big step!). If you are on cafeteria duty, please ensure that big chunks of food are removed from the plates before they are recycled in the blue PAPER bin.
2) Also, we have gotten rid of the big toters in the cafeteria and in the Intermediate wing. These toters were unsanitary. Now all items are collected in bio-degradable plastic bags. We are now able to recycle plastic, cans, and bottles all together. Please motivate students to place their recyclables in the proper bin so as to avoid contamination.
To date, some things are still NOT recyclable (e.g. poutine containers, juice box containers, milk and chocolate milk containers and some plastics, etc.). A board indicating which items are not recyclable will be posted in the cafeteria.
3) Classroom paper pick-up will continue for all High School and Intermediate classes, with pick-up usually occurring on Mondays.
4) Lastly, please bring in your old cell phones and used ink and laser print cartridges for the Think Recycle Program. Place items in the green/white boxes located in the library and in the main office.
Many thanks for your ongoing support.
