Through our School Supply Recycling Program with the Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District, we collected over 1800 pounds of school supplies from 13 Clermont County schools!
We were able to take almost 1200 pounds of these supplies to our partners at CNE Cares and NEST Community Learning Center that will be used to help families in need. The rest will be recycled or taken to specialty recycling and reuse facilities.
Parents and teachers, we always encourage thinking twice before school supply shopping about what your students actually need. Consider what items you have from last year that could be reused (which saves you money too!).
A huge thank you to the amazing teachers who help us coordinate! We also want to thank our awesome volunteers who help us sort (and, tested over 12,000 markers)!
