With the goal of reducing waste, Keep Golden Isles Beautiful’s 2018 School Recycling Challenge did just that. This fall, 11 local schools took part in the challenge to collect non-traditional items for recycling. By collecting items not accepted in local curbside recycling programs, participating schools had an immediate impact on reducing landfill waste. In just two short weeks, students collected more than 155 pounds of oral care products, pens, markers, highlighters and cereal bags — all diverted from the landfill and sent to be recycled at TerraCycle.
