Overview
The City of San José and RAFT, the Resource Area
for Teaching have formed a partnership to provide free recycling
containers
to San José K-12 schools. RAFT now serves as the supply
depot for SJGGSP recycling containers. Parents, teachers, principals,
custodians or other school staff can request free recycling containers
through this on-line process, then pick them up at RAFT at their
convenience.
Eligible Participants
Parents, teachers, custodians and principals
of San José K-12
public and private schools are eligible to request recycling containers.
Principal’s Authorization
Make sure you have the principal’s
authorization to begin or expand your school’s recycling
program. It will strengthen your program to have the principal’s
involvement as well.
