RECYCLE RAMA

The following items were collected at Hampton Township School District’s 2^nd annual Recycle Rama:

• There were over 8 pallets of computers, electronics and TVs that were recycled responsibly by eLoop llc.  Nothing will be placed in a landfill or exported to under developed countries.

• The Hampton spiritwear, athletic uniforms, sports equipment and dance wear exchange was a huge success! Girl Scout Troop 938 sponsored this program and collected a lot of reusable items that were picked up by other parents. For example there were over 50 pairs of soccer cleats collected. NOTE: There were leftover soccer items that are now at the concession stand. Get them while supplies last!

• Construction Junction filled up a truck with reusable construction materials.

• Fitzsimmons Metals collected a large dumpster filled with scrap metal and appliances.

• We had a pick-up truck full of plastic grocery bags that were collected and 450 reusable bags were given out in return.

• 26 rechargeable batteries were sent to the RBRC where they will be disposed of so that no hazardous chemicals seep into the ground at landfills. 59 cell phones and 76 ink cartridges were also recycled responsibly.

• Recycle Rama volunteers helped unload cardboard from vehicles that filled 2 recycling dumpsters.

• 1 recycling dumpster from Abitibi was filled with paper.

• Salvation Army left with a large truck filled with clothing and small household items.
