Christiana Middle has reduced our trash going to the landfill by 25% since we started Single Stream recycling!!
We currently have a whopping 29% recycling ratio.
Although paper is welcomed in our single stream bins, we separate it out because
we get rebates ($$$$$) for the paper!!!
Our school appreciates

our tri-weekly
collection routes.
Another big "THANK YOU" goes out to
AD Recycling LLC in
Bell Buckle
who donated all of our bigger
recycling bins.

Christiana's Recycling Crew
Our Recycle Crew visited the ALL IN ONE facility in Murfreesboro. This is where our single stream recycling goes on Tuesdays. The students learned about building a water collection barrel, different plastics, and how our recycling is sorted baled and sold.

These students went on a field trip to see where our paper goes. We went to Caraustar Recycling in LaVergne.
Thanks, Caraustar for our high-vis recycling shirts!

The recycling crew learned how the paper is sorted and baled up to be sent to the pulp mills.
They also learned the importance of

A person can get $60 for a bale of pure cardboard.
If a bale of cardboard has plastic or
