We Got Plans For Your Cans
Recycling Drive for Recycle Ohio Month October 1st though Oct. 29th. Contact Kathleen to sign up at 216-443-3731. Students collect cans to be brought into school as a classroom recycling project. Bags, promotional posters and prizes will be provided by the Solid Waste District. As students collect full bags of cans, prizes will be awarded, so the more cans collected means more and more prizes. Also, schools will compete for a grand prize. Alcan joins the Solid Waste District supporting this drive.

2005 Earth Day Poster Contest

On the back of each entry, the artist's name, grade, teacher or group leader, school or group name and address must be written. Send entries to Kathleen Rocco, CCSWD, 323 Lakeside Avenue, Suite 400, Cleveland, OH 44113 by November 5, 2004.
