The school year is drawing to a close and we would like to once again announce the winners of the South West Solid Waste Commission’s school recycling program for the 2009- 2010 school year. |

From September to May the weight of the paper and cardboard collected from each school was compiled and awards were determined on a per capita basis (total weight from each school divided by the number of students). |

The South West Solid Waste Commission, solid waste authority for South Western New Brunswick, has been operating a regional recycling program since 1996. In 2002 the South West Solid Waste Commission extended its recycling program to area schools, supplying blue recycling bins to each school within its service district. As well the Commission provided blue totes for each classroom. This region-wide school recycling program was the first of its kind in New Brunswick. Since 2002 several other regions have initiated similar programs. Congratulations to all schools! Keep up the great work. The South West Solid Waste Commission would like to wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer and remember to reduce, reuse and recycle! |
