The students at Hurley conducted a waste audit in the autumn of 2010. For one day, classrooms separated wet waste from dry waste. During the audit, we learned many things about our school community's recycling habits. Overall the school had the intent to recycle; however, recyclables were not finding their way into the recycling dumpster.
After the audit, GEEC members posted signs throughout the building to educate the community on what to recycle. Members respectfully requested people to participate in increasing Hurley's recycling. The C3 Club members began collecting the daily recycling from each classroom to ensure that the recycling would end up in the proper receptacle.
Within a short period of time, we watched our recycling score soar to new heights. The score reached an all time high exceeding 140%.
