You may have noticed
the yellow and green dumpster behind LEHS, but did you know the bin
collects about 3,000 pounds of recycled paper per month - that's 1
1/2 ton per month.
Each ton of recycled paper can
save
17 trees, 380 gallons of oil,
three
cubic yards of landfill
space, 4,000
kilowatts
of energy and
7,000 gallons of
water!
Caleb and Tyler
need your help! We have been challenged to collect 12 tons
(24,000 pounds) of recycled paper between October 2007 and March
2008. Can we do it? We are encouraging you to bring in
your recycled paper and place it in the bin, the bin is a community
recycling point, not just for Logan Elm use.
