Educational Resources for Schools
OKRA Seeks Your Information on K-12 Solid Waste Educational Resources
Dr. Sarah Kimball, OKRA’s K-12 Education Workgroup’s Chair, is
collecting information about recycling resources (programs, displays,
materials, curricula, DVDs, etc.) currently available in Oklahoma or
those available online. These will be added to our website soon. Please
complete the following form if you have anything to contribute to her
compilation. If you would like to contact Sarah, email her at:
Kimball@okstate.edu.
School Recycling Program Implementation Plan
Print or download the School Recycling Program Implementation Plan (PDF)
Initial decisions prior to implementation:
- Designate an on-site recycling coordinator.
(Often, plant services/maintenance supervisor is most logical choice; teachers are needed for promotion/collection)
- Designate members of recycling committee
- Develop a goal statement/philosophy supporting program. Why are we doing this? (May not be necessary if target participants are positive about program.)
- Which materials will be collected?
