Southeast Middle School turning green
Lori Swaim, the recycling coordinator for Rowan County, has spoken to Southeast Middle School students about the need to recycle. She emphasized what the students at the school should concentrate on, the differences in the kinds of paper to be recycled, and reminded students that a law that prohibits the discarding of aluminum cans took effect in 1988. She talked about a law that went into effect Jan. 1 that does not allow plastic bottles to be thrown away as garbage; they must be recycled.
Southeast Middle also has a newly organized Green Team. This group is discussing ways to help the environment and putting those plans into play. The school has collected about 165 telephone books for recycling so far.
Several teams in the school are collecting items to be recycled: cell phones, chargers, hearing aids, eyeglasses, ink cartridges and bottle caps. The school’s goal is to recycle more than it sends to the landfill.
