With dedicated recycling stations for milk and juice containers in cafeterias, recycling bins for paper and commingled containers in each classroom, and a big push for awareness, Leonia started a new era of recycling in our schools in 2018. Check out the huge difference the recycling program is making in the bags of trash generated by each school compared with our pre-recycling days:
| School | Trash Baseline (Pre-April 2018) |
Trash Bags: May 2018 |
Trash Bags: May 2019 |
Percent reduction (Baseline vs. 2019) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACS | 14 | 11 | 4 | 71% |
| LMS | 12 | 9 | 4 | 67% |
| LHS | 43 | 34 | 14 | 65% |
| TOTAL | 43 | 34 | 14 | 67% |
It’s one step closer to our goal of Zero Waste Leonia!
