We are changing how we can submit items for recycle.  Please be more diligent on what goes in the recycle bins, or everything in the recycle bin it will be thrown away with the trash.  What must NOT go in the recycle bin: Vending machine food containers (chip bags, candy wrappers, etc), food and beverages (compostable, not recyclable), milk containers (the wax makes them not recyclable).  Please empty all fluids from any bottles that are going to be recycled.  Thank you for your help and keeping our school and environment clean.
