Can Faith Middle School make it to $1,000 before the end of the school year? May 30, the last day of school, is fast approaching, but Faith’s ecology club and recycling coordinator, Julie Deckard thinks it can be done if people send in their drink pouches. From box tops to toothpaste and even mp3 players, Faith Middle School has been collecting items from the Fort Benning community for the past two years. By doing so, Faith has raised money for its school and for charity. Through recycling, she said, people can help with clean drinking water, meals and schools supplies or the environment by planting trees. Deckard has put in more than 650 hours to sort items and package them to be shipped to Terra Cycle, but it’s always easier with a team of people, she said. For those simply wanting to send in recyclables but think it may be tedious or complicated — it’s not, Deckard said.Simply rinse out containers and put them in plastic bags. You don’t even need to sort them by type.
