We have "Power Towers" at Rogers Elementary. We have 11 Power Towers in the school being used to separate the garbage we are producing so that we can recycle it. The power towers have 5 drawers to put various types of garbage for recycling, instead of going into the garbage. The drawers are emptied daily into our Recycle Station bags. We have soft plastics, foils, cardboard, paper and an unknown drawer.
Along with the power towers we are also continuing to recycle all drinking containers and we are composting. We have reduced our garbage significantly. We have gone from having a 6 cubic yard garbage dumpster to having a 3 cubic yard dumpster. Way to go everyone!
Thanks to our 25 student member Green Team, our custodian (Caroline Waelti) and our staff for making this happen.
Our office staff uses a power tower, a compost bin and a mini-garbage can!
At Rogers, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint.
