Be Cool Recycle at School

Recycling champions know more about recycling than most New Yorkers. If you know someone who attends PS 1, 3, 14, 16, 20, 25, 26, 32, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 48, 50, 54, St. Clare's School, St. Joseph & St. Thomas School, or IS 2, 25, 72, or 440, then you have a recycling champion in your community. Invite your Recycling Outreach Coordinator to bring “Recycling-Know-How” to your school. You'll never see recycling the same again.
