Recycling+Programs+at+NHS

Here at NHS, we enforce recycling with an iron fist. Kids that fail to follow our strict regime will receive a painful 12 lashes across the back by Mrs. Paupore. We work tirelessly 'round the clock to recycle anything in site and ban trashcans in the hallway for fear of encouraging wasteful actions and free thinking. Just kidding. But we do find recycling very important and strongly encourage kids to join in the efforts with the Global Awareness group and help in every way to protect out planet. Every little bit helps, and it doesn't take much to walk that extra step and drop that piece of paper in recycling box instead of the trashcan.

__Recycling__
We have a volunteer recycling crew that will walk around the halls every Thursday, collecting the used paper for recycling. Also, aluminum cans and glass bottles will be collected at this time.

__Tennis Shoe Project__
The purpose of the tennis shoe project was to collect as many used/unwanted tennis shoes and recycle them. Over 100 lbs. were collected, and NIKE will recycle them into athletic courts for disadvantaged areas.

__Lion's Glasses Recycling Project__
We have a special box next to our office that has a special label prompting students to take old and unused glasses and place them in the box. The glasses will be collected this spring and donated for distribution in Bolivia through Etta Projects.
