Greetings!

The Great Locker Greenout Contest

 

The Great Locker Greenout Contest

 

Organize a school locker cleanout day that encourages recycling and reuse!

 

More stuff is thrown away at schools during June than any other time of the year. The mission of the Great Locker Greenout project is to redirect as much of this material to your recycling bin, your school's supply stock or to a local charity.
