[Durham INC] Needed tonight: Recycling in Your School - Yourresponse needed for a quick survey

Tue Aug 13 16:38:49 EDT 2013

I'm not involved with schools being that I'm not employed with them nor have
kiddos. But I seem to recall from our city manager's INC talk that the city
collects trash for various entitities, aren't the public schools part of
that - or are they on the contracted removals list he mentioned? 

If the former, (or maybe just for recycling if not) -- adding them on the
route of the residential recycling collection would seem to be a not
outrageously difficult measure. They are already willing to do this for
recycling bins in n'hood parks, as long as there are folks willing to be
sure they're put out on the route/collection day. We've started to in
Northgate Park, and there are others.

What a good civic lesson it would be for kids to wheel out their barrels for
this purpose!

I was told by several teachers at my kids elementary school (this was 2-3
yrs ago) that the recycling got thrown in w the regular trash when it was
collected. I have never seen any separate bins (the big metal kind) for
recycling, although the teachers do have little plastic blue trash and for
paper recycling. I don't know the whole story there. I inquired, but I
didn't follow up (too much other stuff on the front burners). 

If DPS doesn't pay for recycling collection, they should...at least IMHO :-)

Are you suggesting that some schools just *pretend* to recycle? Do you
actually know this as a fact? And if it is so, isn't this in violation of
the law in addition to being a terrible violation of the children's trust?

Hello. Please see below and consider taking the (literally) 3 minutes it
takes to complete the survey below, which will help determine how many
schools in Durham actually recycle and help spread this practice at our
public, private, charter, and other schools.

If you believe that recycled materials are separately collected but
utimately get thrown in with the general trash at collection, please
indicate this as well. I know this has happened at my kids' school for
several years now, and it would be good to figure things out in this regard.

Thanks for caring (and sharing)!

Dear Melissa,

I am not sure if you received the evite that I sent to you. We are trying to
get responses to this survey before our meeting tomorrow so we'll have some
basis for conversation. Please complete it if you can and forward the
message and link below to other Durham Public School parents or teachers.
Our turnaround time is very short but we would like input from as many
schools as possible. Thank you!

Tania
