Recycling Across TTUSD
-
Our recycling and solid waste reduction programs began in 2010. Since that time, we have successfully implemented programs for all sites leading to cumulative savings of $270,600 through June 2016.
The following materials are recycled at each site throughout the district:- paper
- cardboard
- hard plastic (detergent bottles & food containers)
- glass
- cans
At every site, we have central recycling bins for the following items:
- printer and ink cartridges
- batteries
- small computer waste
TTUSD maintenance staff recycles the following (so don't throw these away):
- fluorescent light bulbs
- metal (all kinds)
- computers
- printers
- monitors
- cell phone
- microwaves
- furniture
