Drop Off Your Recyclables
Parents, students, and families are encouraged
to bring their recyclable paper and aluminum by one of the
retriever bins located on campuses. Did you also know that
schools earn money for aluminum, newspapers, magazines, shopping
catalogs, office and school paper dropped off at one of our campuses
retriever bins? Some campuses even recycle cell phones and
ink jet cartridges! Learn how YOU can
help ...
| Cell Phone and Ink Jet
Cartridge Recycling
Recycling
cell phones and ink jet cartridges will help you earn money for
your school!
Please check with your campus
recycling facilitator to find out if your school is currently
set up to receive and recycle cell phones and ink jet cartridges
before bring recyclables to the campus. |

Paper Recycling
 |
Bring your recyclable
paper by NOW! Paper
Retriever bins have been in place on school campuses in the
Irving ISD for 10 years, saving the district approximately
$40,000 per year in hauling fees. Over the past ten years
these schools have earned approximately $15,000 in funds that
have been used for various projects on each campus.

| The Aluminum Retriever
Program
Bring
your recyclable aluminum by NOW! Developed
in partnership with Anheuser-Busch Recycling, the Aluminum
Retriever program will work very similar to the Paper Retriever
program. The collection bins will resemble the
well-recognized green-and-yellow Paper Retriever bins, but
instead reflect the blue-and-yellow color scheme.
Campuses within the
Irving ISD schools will be the first in the Southwest to
participate in this pilot program. Irving ISD was chosen
based on our successful 10 year partnership with the district
and strong support of the City of Irving recycling staff.
Schools
participating in the Aluminum Retriever program will earn cash
for the amount of aluminum collected, similar to the Paper
Retriever program. This is designed to be a
community-based fundraiser, with participation from students,
parents, PTA and the community. We believe the Paper
Retriever and Aluminum Retriever programs will work hand in hand to
provide the Irving ISD with a valuable new fundraising opportunity while
fostering environmental stewardship in your schools. We look
forward to working with you to make this new program a big success! |
