Allentown public and private schools are required to recycle:

	paper
	aluminum cans
	cardboard
	yard waste

	steel cans
	#1 and #2 plastic bottles
	glass bottles and jars

Schools have lots of paper to recycle. It is best to have a paper recycling bin next to each trash can and containers for cans and bottles in cafeterias and vending machine areas throughout the school. The Allentown School District has blue paper recycling bins for each classroom and office.

Check to see if your cafeteria has recycling bins for aluminum cans and plastic bottles.

Education Programs:

The Bureau of Recycling & Solid Waste offers a variety of adaptable interactive programs and games for all ages. The recycling and litter prevention programs are available to Allentown schools and groups only.
