April 26, 2012
27 tons of material were recycled in first month of systemwide program

From The Baltimore Sun: All schools in the Baltimore city district now are recycling, and the initiative has generated 27 tons of recycled material in its first month. Schools have been equipped with 65-gallon, single-stream recycling containers, which combine materials that will be sorted at a recovery facility. The bins are picked up weekly. Until the systemwide effort began in February, 72 schools out of Baltimore's 205 had separated paper, bottles and cans from other garbage.
