What schools are saying

In a community where recycling isn't usually top of mind, this contest opened our students' and neighbors' eyes to how simple and impactful it can be. Our students had a blast—and so did our community! Nearly every day, families and neighbors dropped off bags of cans, sometimes filling every bin we had.
The best part? We raised money for our school through a project that truly mattered.

I originally thought this program would be tremendously difficult, but I was proven wrong—150%! You all made it possible, fun, and completely doable.

On behalf of Southaven Elementary, thank you. This has been an incredible experience for all of us.”
