We will have four dumpsters during the year. Remind your students to save newspapers at home and to bring them to school the week the dumpster is in the parking lot. Only newspapers may be put in the dumpster. There is dumpster outside the cafeteria for cardboard. Boxes should be broken down and flattened.
Mixed paper includes mimeo paper, catalogs, junk mail, magazines, and phone books.
It does not include newspapers, aluminum foil, waxed paper, paper towels, plastic, or carbon paper. Chattanooga Recycled Fiber provides the dumpster for our mixed paper and aluminum cans. It is the long dumpster behind the cafeteria. They process the cans, newspapers, and mixed paper. They are available for field trips for upper grade classes interested in learning more about recycling.
