Los estudiantes y personal de la escuela All Saint’s Day han dado grandes pasos en la reducción de materiales que terminan en el vertedero. La escuela ha dominado el arte del reciclaje mixto; ¿cuál será su siguiente proyecto? Los estudiantes recolectan restos de comida de los salones de clase y de su programa de almuerzo. Los restos de comida se usan para hacer abono y se usa en el jardín educativo de la escuela.
Cada salón de clase está equipado con un contenedor seguro para restos de comida y las áreas de almuerzo están equipadas con contenedores para comida que sobra. Cada semana los estudiantes recolectan los restos de comida, pesan el material

UN PROGRAMA DE RECICLAJE EXITOSO - ALL SAINT’S DAY SCHOOL
ETIQUETA AMARILLA PARA BOLSAS ADICIONALES
RECICLAJE DE ÁRBOLES NAVIDEÑOS
Ayúdenos a cerrar el ciclo y devolver su árbol navideño a la tierra como abono. La colección de árboles de Navidad comenzará el 26 de diciembre y culminará a finales del mes de enero. Corte su árbol en secciones de 3 pies y colóquelo en su bote de desperdicios del jardín. No se colectara árboles con luces, guirnaldas, adornos, bases para árboles o nieve decorativa.
Durante los días festivos, es posible que genere bolsas adicionales de basura que no caben en su contenedor. Nuestro conductor con gusto recogerá sus bolsas de basura adicionales, sin embargo se le cobrará $15 por cada bolsa adicional y recibirá una etiqueta amarilla. Si desea
y registran los datos. En promedio, los estudiantes recuperan 11 libras de restos de comida a la semana.
El guía de los estudiantes es el maestro de arte, Peter Hiller, quien dice que “nuestro objetivo es generar cero desperdicios, pero mientas tanto estamos reutilizando o reciclando todo lo que podemos, incluyendo nuestros restos de comida. Lo genial del abono de alimentos es cuando ves que el resultado termina en una de las áreas sembradas del campus.”
La escuela All Saint’s Day cuenta con varios métodos de composta que se utilizan simultáneamente para contribuir a su jardín.
Si su escuela le gustaría ayudar a mejorar los esfuerzos de reciclaje o iniciar un programa de composta, comuníquese con el coordinador de reciclaje de WM para participar en el programa de reciclaje para escuelas del Condado de Monterey. Podemos proporcionar servicios de encuentro comunitario a los estudiantes y personal, así como ayudar a las escuelas a reducir sus costos de manejo de desperdicios.
Llame a Kristin Skromme al 831-796-2220 para obtener más información.
evitar los cargos adicionales, considere adquirir un contenedor de basura más grande, de 64 o 94 galones. Si piensa que podría reducir el tamaño de su contenedor, considere cambiar a un contenedor de basura de 20 o 35 galones. Llame al 800-321-8226 para cambiar su contenedor.
