Did you know that over 70% of a typical school's waste is paper, such as envelopes, copy paper, school paper, colored paper, and manila file folders?
In November 2002, The Greenville County School District and Greenville County Solid Waste Division joined efforts to promote mixed paper and cardboard recycling in all Greenville County Public Schools. The recycling program will decrease the amount of garbage disposed of in the landfill and disposal cost to the Greenville County School District. The goal of the program is to encourage environmental stewardship and recycling practices. A local recycling company picks up the mixed paper and cardboard once a week at no cost to the school district. The entire program was initially funded by a grant from the Greenville County Solid Waste Division.
