Real Yellow Pages Recycling

 

 

Supported by AT&T Real Yellow Pages, Clean & Green encouraged Escambia County students to participate in Project ReDirectory, the annual phone book collection and recycling effort.

Text Box: Campus Pride is an Escambia County public school competition sponsored by Clean & Green and Pensacola Federation of Garden Clubs. Each school year we invite Principals' to challenge students and teachers and encourage participation in a project, no matter the size, that improves the cleanliness and beauty of the school campus. Projects could include planting shrubs or trees, hosting a ‘Clean and Green Day’ campus cleanup, planting a community/butterfly garden, or school grounds beautification. We ask that you maintain a record of your project by taking notes and photographs before, during, and after. These records will be used to assist in determining our winners. The competition starts in August and continues until the end of April. Judging occurs the first two weeks in May. The 2011-2012 competition has not been announced.

The competition was open to all public and private schools within the county and collection ended December 2nd.  Twenty three schools collected 6037 books with a total weight of 6.16 tons.  The three schools that collected the most books per
