Recycle Everything I Can

Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

Cleaning Dirty Recyclables Picked Up From School Campuses

After I picked up all the recycling and trash at the schools that I picked up litter at, I separated the recyclables from the trash and I cleaned the recyclables for six hours so that they were able to be recycled.

Litter Pickup

I cleaned the campuses of Different Knox County Schools because I noticed how littered they were. I plan to share my findings with the schools and hope to implement an anti-litter program in each.

    I took my recyclables that I collected during my litter pickup to the recycle center. This was about a 15 minute ordeal, and I enjoyed being bale to recycle so much of what I picked up!

    I found lots of fun things while picking up trash on the school campuses. I found this particular water bottle from UT's advertising and communications department as litter at West Valley. I thought that was kind of ironic.

    Earlier in April and March I picked up trash at Bluegrass elementary school, West Valley middle school, and Beard and high school and I picked up a total of around 35 pounds of trash from all of the schools. Most recently was Bluegrass elementary and Bearden high school.

    I spent almost 2 hours at West Valley Middle School picking up trash and I picked up a little over 3 pounds of trash from the campus. I plan to sort and wash the recyclable litter later and take it to the recycling plant.
