Student-Led Glass Recycling!
February 12, 2024
Springmont's 6th-year Upper Elementary students are taking their glass recycling to the next level and have entered the 2023-24 Georgia Glass Recycling Contest!
Beginning today, February 12, and continuing through March, our student-run Recycling Club encourages you to bring your used glass jars and bottles (clear, green, blue, and brown) to the designated cart in the Pavilion! Please bring items in a box or paper bag, making sure they have been washed and that the tops have been removed. (Bags with handles, like the paper bags from Trader Joe's, work perfectly for this.) Students will collect and sort the items.
Commissioner Tim Echols will come to campus at the beginning of April to weigh our collection. From there, the glass will be taken to a facility in McDonough to be processed before making its final journey to Arglass, a glass manufacturing facility in Valdosta.
Members of the Recycling Club look forward to attending the awards ceremony at Zoo Atlanta in April!
