Garbage recycling

Volunteers recycle garbage once a week  Sorting plastic, glass, metal and cardboard recyclables Placing them in two or more different recycling bins (Provided by MCPS free on yearly basis)  Take photos of garbage collection (mark the time on the edge of the photo)   (tape a piece of paper with the date written on it in large print to the recycling bins and then take a picture) The sample of picture for the garbage recycling Make a weekly log. We would ask a student to reflect into the weekly log where students describe the type of materials they recycled for that week, the sorting that they completed, and any revelations/discoveries they made in completing this service activity.

Sample
