GOLDEN RULES OF RECYCLING (ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS):

Every trash can must have a recycling bin beside it Just like salt-n-pepper…they go together!

Eliminate any unnecessary trash cans from classroom Ideally maintain a 1 trash can : 1 recycling bin ratio in all

areas

Place the recycling bin and trash can where they can be easily monitored

Recycling: The easiest way to make a positive impact on your environment and influence your

family and friends

JUST THROW IT IN THE BLUE BIN!
