Riverside has moved to single stream recycling
Starting this past Monday, Riverside School has moved to single stream recycling. We are the second school in the town to do so and we are thankful for all of the dedicated parents, teachers, and students who have worked to make our recycling efforts event better at Riverside. This week with single stream recycling in the cafeteria, we have had over a 50% reduction in our lunchtime garbage output! We had many people who helped make this possible including volunteers at lunch all this week, the PTA Green Committee, the Riverside Teachers' Green Committee, plus many, many other supporters. We are also doing single stream recycling in every classroom, which is further reducing our garbage. We are proud of all the efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
