One item that cannot be recycled can affect the entire load

Waukegan begins a citywide awareness campaign to encourage residents to place only recyclable materials like paper in their recycle container. The city is also trying to reduce the volume of items going to a landfill. ‘One item that cannot be recycled can contaminate the entire load’

Waukegan students create buzz with clothes made from recyclable materials. Ortega’s students used mostly paper, scissors and creativity to create dresses and other outfits. The project was a collaborative class project to give students an appreciation of their environment and a lesson in teamwork.
