This year, we had 13 Clermont schools participate in our School Supply Donation Program. In total, they donated over 2000 pounds of school supplies that will be diverted from the landfill! This includes new and used pencils, markers, crayons, notebooks, binders, glue, books, and more. After sorting and weighing supplies, we donate them to local community partners or take them to be recycled.

Through this program, we are always surprised to see the quantity of brand new supplies that are thrown away! We encourage teachers and parents to think twice about what students will need in the upcoming school year. Stopping waste at the source is the most effective action we can take.

Thank you so much to all of our amazing teachers who help coordinate this program! If you would like to get your school involved, volunteer with supply sorting, or know an organization in need of school supplies, contact our Education Coordinator, Elea Cooper, at ecooper@clermontcountyohio.gov
