My Project
Students come to class with trash. Chip bags, soda cans, water bottles, paper, etc. And everyday some trash makes it into the one trash can my school provides. But that tiny can cannot possibly hold all of the trash my students create.
This project seeks to solve our trash problem by providing my students with high quality trash cans with lids.
With these cans, my students will not have to get up and walk across the room to throw anything away, nor will they feel compelled to throw their trash on the floor because there will be a can in every corner.
More than half of students from low‑income households
