A Year Later: Brehm Recycling Program is a Success!

Last year Brehm initiated a recycling program on campus with recycling containers in every dorm, outside, in academic building and administration. This was possible due to the support of Jackson County Health Department, who provides us with individual recycling containers, a recycling dumpster and pays the fee for emptying the dumpster. Last year we recycled 7,840 pounds of paper, plastic bottles and aluminum cans.

Brehm students follow through with this program with four major activities: campus clean-up, trash formations, waste-free lunch and recycling skits.

Students and staff alike (both shown), all pitch in to help keep Brehm campus "green".

Mike, a Brehm senior and student council member, participates in the Campus Cleanup.

Recycling Skits took place during Campus Forum, with Andrew taking the cash prize.

Students have already seen the benefits of "going green" with new soccer field benches made from recycled milk cartons.

We take advantage of events like Parents' Weekend and use them to challenge our students to maintain a campus they can be proud of.
