Go Green – Madison Recycles!

YOU can help save the environment AND raise money for our school by recycling your empty soda cans and plastic water bottles!  Please save your bottles and cans and bring them to the new Recycling Center on the main playground.  (It would be really helpful if you could presort your recyclables into separate bags – cans in one, bottles in the other).  At the moment, we are ONLY accepting aluminum soda cans and plastic bottles (types #1 and #2) at the Recycling Center (look for the words “CA CRV” or CA CASH REFUND” on the side) – for safety reasons, please do NOT bring glass.

All proceeds from the recycling center are going towards this year’s 5th Grade Outdoor Science Camp.

Parents (especially 5th grade), if you have a truck or large cargo space and are free on a Friday morning, please contact Mr Ledoux at 310-798-8623 or jledoux@rbusd.org.  We will be making trips to the Inglewood Ave recycling center every other Friday (starts 1/6/12).
