I checked it out for my area and all the bins I'm aware of are listed!...including our daughter's elementary school! Yeeeeaaaaahhhh! M - I'm wondering, at what point will I start getting resistance! So far, so good, but I think I'll handle them! :) And those dumpsters/bins ARE great. I wish more organizations would realize that it's a win-win situation. You help the environment and your organization gets a financial reward! Happy – thanks for the great locator!

Good for you! I've found that all it takes sometimes is for one person to ask about recycling to effect instant change. No one wants to be the only one "not with the times" Especially a school! Our school got 2 of the big paper recycling dumpsters. Look into those if you can. The school earns money for what they collect! Also, every other month they get one of the local scrap places to bring a huge "roll off" dumpster. It's so tall that you couldn't possibly steal metal out of it, so it's safe that way. It only stays for a week, but everyone in the community brings their scrap for the "limited time" so the school can earn extra money that way too! Congrats! Good for you!

The public can take their stuff too. Wouldn't surprise me if the school's trash company doesn't even need things sorted any more. company we deal with doesn't, they want everything recyclable in the big bin. Make things a lot easier. :D http://www.paperretriever.com/default.asp?id=200
