So the Elementary School and Kindergarten are recycling plastics. The plastic is bought by a women in Agua Caliente that pays the kilo $2.40.
This is a great way to contribute to the local schools by giving them your plastic which is garbage. WE ARE ALSO RECYCLING The schools uses this money for different expenses. To buy cleaning material, maintenance material,pay phone bill with internet (The Kinder is barely going to get a phone line with Internet)
Please keep mind that the schools of our community work very hard every year to raise money for the expenses and celebrations for the children.
If it is convenient for some to bring the plastics to my house and not the elementary or kinder because of the time of the day that is fine with me.
Let me investigate what kind of plastic can and cannot and,let me see about a container. We are currently placing plastic in the empty lot behind the elementary school that belongs to the school.
Another thing that we will accept are clothes shoes and stuff you do not need or use anymore that you have in your house. We make a bazaar and sell these items and make more money for the school.
This year our mayor projects are
* replacing the broken windows of each classroom
* AC for each classroom
* Tinaco for the kitchen
* repainting the entire wall that surrounds the school
The Kinder and Elementary schools want your plastic for their recycling program! All types are accepted - containers, tupperware rejects, etc. Just no plastic bags!
Here are several ways to recycle your unwanted plastic:
1. Drop off at the vacant lot behind the Elementary school anytime. There is currently no container so it's a bit of a mess with loose plastic everywhere, but a large truck will be picking it up in bulk.
2. Talk to your neighbors with young children and give them your plastic to take to school. There is a contest and a big prize for the class that collects the most. They might be happy to help!
3. You may want to set up a barrel, bag or other container by your house for collecting plastic from your household or neighborhood. Tell the kids and they can check it and empty it for you.
4. Provide a barrel(s) for the school. If anyone can donate some type of large container (maybe a cracked barrel) it can be set up outside the school for easy, visible drop off.
Any funds from the sale of this bulk plastic will be used for basic maintenance at the schools, like cleaning supplies, and utility bills. The municipality does not cover these everyday expenses, and it falls to the busy moms to do fundraising. A small amount will be set aside for a pool party for the winning classroom.
We all love to recycle, so get with it!!!
Thank you!
