Teacher Guide
Whether you teach pre-K or twelfth grade, there’s value in starting conversations about recycling with your students. These discussions can naturally lead to broader themes such as environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Teaching your students to recycle right will reduce the amount of contamination entering the bin. For additional information, lesson ideas, and resources please see our School Recycling Toolkit on Google Drive.
