Paper Shredder Needed for Our Recycling Program

Help me give my students a replacement shredder. My autistic students recycle and we need a new shredder. Our last one broke and we really need a new one.

My Project

My 6:1:1 autistic High School students have a recycling center in our classroom. We collect bottles and cans to recycle. We also go class to class to get paper to shred and place in our paper only bin in class.

Several months ago our shredder broke and my students have been unable to shred paper in our recycling program.

Many of my students love shredding and this has made them sad.

Our special education program is a leader in recycling in our inclusive high school setting. Please help my students replace the broken shredder by donating money to buy this new more reliable shedder from Donor's choose.
