Recycling & Trash Supplies Order Form - Due Friday November 6, 2015
Hello DCPS Recyclers,

Please fill out this order form by Friday November 6, 2015 to receive recycling & trash supplies in time for next semester!

The order form should be completed by your school’s business manager or recycling representative delegated by the principal.

Goal: Every DCPS school is set up for recycling paper in classrooms by the end of this year!

In order to make sure your school has the right supplies….

1) Ask maintenance staff. BEFORE filling out this form, please check with your maintenance staff to see if you have bins in storage. Remember that more bins is not always better.

2) Schedule a consultation. If you are not sure what supplies your school needs, you can schedule a supplies consultation with our team using this order form

3) Trust us – more is not always better! The DCPS Recycles! team will review your supply order and reconcile it with past supply orders. If we notice that you may be requesting more supplies than necessary, we will follow up with you to schedule a supplies consultation.

Required
Classroom Supply Order - REQUIRED
If your school is not recycling, the first step is setting up classroom bins for paper recycling!
Every classroom should have a BLUE bin labeled for PAPER for RECYCLING and a BLACK BIN for TRASH
How many BLACK classroom bins for TRASH do you need? *
Please count how many classrooms do NOT have a BLACK or GRAY bin for trash. If you have been misusing blue bins as trash bins, please fix this by ordering black bins for trash and labeling the blue bins for recycling.
How many BLUE classroom bins for RECYCLING do you need? *
Please count how many classrooms do NOT have a BLUE bins. If you have BLUE bins in storage, please subtract the number of blue bins you already have.
How many LABELS do you need for blue bins? *
Please count how many blue classroom bins you have that do NOT have a label for PAPER ONLY on them. Any blue bins that are currently being used for trash need to be labeled properly and used for recycling. In classrooms we are only recycling paper. Mixed recyclables (plastic, metal, glass) can be collected in the cafeteria or common areas once the basic paper recycling program is in place.
Common Areas, Cafeteria & Kitchen Order - OPTIONAL
If your school is already in compliance with the classroom recycling program (paper only), then consider requesting additional supplies. More bins is not always the solution - sometimes removing bins can actually improve sorting.

in COMMON AREAS where bottles/cans are produced - use sparingly! Do NOT over use in hallways. They will just become trash bins.
