Recycling Guidelines
Classroom Bins
Students from the Eco Club empty bins on a regular basis. The city picks up the recycling on Friday mornings. The purple bins are full by the end of the week, so...
- Please do not overfill the bins.
- Please break down boxes.
The bins CAN be used for bottles and cans, with a few guidelines...
- They must be emptied every day to avoid pests.
- Monitor the bin to make sure that it only contains recyclables. Make sure your students understand the purpose of the bin.
- Keep the bin clean and dry. Rinse bottles and cans whenever possible.
Hallway and Office Bins
- Please use hallway and office bins for PAPER ONLY.
- PLEASE break down boxes.
- If you notice that a bin in the hall or office is full, please feel free to have a student empty it, or empty it yourself.
Did you know that Long Beach diverts 69 percent of the City’s trash from disposal through recycling, reuse and waste reduction programs?
