On November 15, 2012, the School
Recycling Challenge will kick-off a recycling competition that will end on
Earth Day, April 22, 2013. Each of the
sixteen schools signed up for the School Recycling Challenge will celebrate
America Recycles Day at their school by taking the pledge to Recycle More. Our local schools will continue to focus on
recycling through Earth Day at which time the students with the most recycling
per capita will win the School Recycling Challenge and receive a recycling
collection center and trophy for their school.
America Recycles Day is a
nation-wide event sponsored by Keep America Beautiful since 1997 with the
single purpose of increasing public awareness about the importance of
recycling. Communities and schools across the country will be having events to
mark America Recycles Day including recycling collections and pledge
collections. If you would like to be part of the event you can go online at
americarecyclesday.org and take the pledge.
This is one day to educate and motivate everyone to recycle. If you cannot get online, Pledge Cards will
be available at the Regional Council office at 114 W Third Street, Maryville.
For more information, please contact
Linda Laderoute at (660) 582-5121 or linda@nwmorcog.org.
The School Recycling Challenge is funded
by a grant from the Northwest Missouri Regional Solid Waste Management District
and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
