Dublin High School Students Organize 'Trick Or Trash' Fundraiser

DUBLIN, CA — Preparing for Halloween is a lot of work, and there’s bound to be some leftover materials. This Halloween, it will help support education in Sierra Leone.

The Dublin High School Two Birds volunteer club is asking Dublin residents to leave out recyclable material to be collected. The club will sell that material to a local recycling facility, and use the proceeds to support education and clean water for students in Sierra Leone.

In past years, the club has collected more than 11,000 recyclables, and raised almost $1,000 for schools in Sierra Leone, where a civil war destroyed 1,270 schools, and only two in five students are literate.

To participate, please register here to have trash picked up. Participants are asked to leave bags full of sorted recyclables by 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29. Email dhstwobirds@gmail.com with any questions or pickup issues.
