LPS Recycling Program
All school sites and support buildings have participated in the LPS Recycling Program since 2002. Materials collected include cardboard, office paper, magazines, newspaper, tin, plastic and aluminum. LPS currently recycles over 1.2 million pounds of material annually.
Each school has the flexibility to decide which group of students will be responsible for the collection of materials. Collections are done by many different groups, such as specific grade levels, like 2nd graders studying ‘garbology’ or a 5th grade science class. Other groups include student councils, Community Learning Center after-school programs and Special Education classes.
In addition to the regularly recycled material, the district also recycles the following items: expired fluorescent lamps, alkaline, lithium, and rechargeable batteries, wood pallets, scrap metal, and various e-waste.
