Your Garbage Is Our Treasure
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smathers's classroom raised $906
This project is fully funded
My Project
Key Club collects recyclable plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and office paper. Our current receptacles are homemade and we would like to show how serious we are about saving the planet and looking more professional. We do not currently have enough to cover the entire campus and this project will increase visibility to the students.
We are able to reduce our reliance on trash collection and landfills. The club is able to help the school save money by reducing waste disposal. Having better receptacles to increase the students usage of recycling.
This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Supporter
and 15 other donors.
