REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?
Christina Oleykowski 10/11/2018 6:18 AMI will be needing a place to dispose of old tires on their wheels so I looked for tire recycling places near me. I was pleasantly surprised that Hainesport has a place.

Christina Oleykowski 10/08/2018 3:21 PMI'm doing very good in this category. Once you start it's like second nature. -
Christina Oleykowski 10/08/2018 3:08 PMBe aware of dripping faucets and lawn hoses. Big water thieves!!!! -

Christina Oleykowski 10/02/2018 1:22 PMAlong with our many students and staff that joined the EcoChallenge, I am very excited to be a part of Hainesport's team.
In the past, I was instrumental in our school's involvement in a plastic bag recycling project which was coordinated by our county. It was very rewarding knowing that what was recycled by our school would be made into Trax decking material.
I look forward to seeing the results of this challenge at the end of October. -
