CCC Recycling

Contra Costa College is not only home to many college students, but also to HIGH School students from Middle College High School (MCHS). You may see us running around campus in big clusters, going from one class to another, or hanging around the amphitheater or rec room during lunch time. We are just high school students CONCURRENTLY enrolled in college!! Isn't that cool??

Well anyways, you may be wondering why I'm talking about MCHS.....it's because we're in charge of keeping our campus Eco friendly!! The MCHS leadership class helps empty out all the BLUE recycle bins to keep our school clean. Now, we're planning to place about 400 blue recycling boxes around each classroom so that we can increase the earth friendly act, as well as earn money from the recycling. I've seen a lot of recyclable materials being thrown in the trash, when it should have been thrown in the BLUE recycle bins. The school loses money from this because it costs them to have the garbage truck pick up the garbage, but it's free to pick up the recycles. So if you have any papers, bottles, or other recyclable materials, please...please...PRETTY please make sure to throw them into the recycling bins.
