Re: pic: Gearheads Recycling Project

Since everyone seems to be interested in this, I guess I"ll keep updating...today was the last day of school, so the last day of collection. Millory and I went around our high school with a giant rolling trash bin (lent to us by the very helpful custodians) and collected everything that we could find. By the time we got through two floors, we were forced to skip the first floor because we ran out of space in the bins. We then packed all of it into my mom's car (if you can imagine a Rendezvous...imagine that filled to the brim with school supplies...THAT'S how much we collected.). We're slowly running out of space in my garage to put all of it...and the stuff in my garage is only about half the supplies we have collected.

Re: pic: Gearheads Recycling Project

Kara, your mom deserves kudos. So does your garage.

And to think, a lot of students are planning parties and celebrations on their last day of school and you guys are recycling trash. It's also neat that you got the janitors' support in this. Sounds like the school rallied around the team in this effort.

The principal and one of the Assistant principals were very nice to us and compliant with our requests, and eager to know how they could help. I managed to get e-mail correspondence with them very early to make sure they knew the plan and so that we could get in contact with the custodians. Everyone was so nice and interested and welcoming, our school staff is so nice, and we wouldn't be around without them!

Another update: We might have mentioned that we got insane amounts of clothing from the clean-outs. I believe there were about eight or so garbage bags full of clothing, shoes, belts, etc. that were moved from Karibou's garage into my basement today. It's ridiculous how wasteful people are- a lot of the clothing had been thrown IN THE TRASH. We also got a hold of the entire lost-and-found inventory of one of the middle schools, because they knew no one would claim any of it. My basement smells... absolutely disgusting to say the least. I'm currently laundering all of it and then it'll be up for dibs. There's so much nice stuff that I just can't understand why people would let out of their sight.

Re: pic: Gearheads Recycling Project

We got to have a sorting party today! That was honestly the most fun I've had in weeks! We were able to clean out Kara's entire garage in roughly four hours of sorting and still had time for a quick snack break! We still have to sort through a ton of other stuff, plus the janitors from one of the schools still have more supplies for us. It's unbelievable (but in a good way ^_^).

If they were the ones paying for the clothes and supplies they probably wouldn't let it out of their sight . Unfortunately a lot of kids just figure that their parents are just going to buy them new stuff come the whether they save their supplies or not.
