Glen Cove Girl Scout Recycling Program A Huge Success

Landing School fourth-graders in Girl Scout Troop 103 started a recycling program at the school this past year that ended up being a huge success.

Earlier this year, the troop members decided to distribute recycling bins throughout the school to encourage students and staff to practice being more environmentally conscious and to better practice the “3 R's” in environmental conservation: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

The girls then presented their project to all Landing students and discussed the importance of recycling during each lunch period.

In addition, they collected and emptied the recycling bins each week.

The project was a huge success. In total, the girls raised $105 from the recycling efforts, which was then donated to the Landing School PTA.

The girls requested the donation to be used to support scholarship opportunities at Landing School for students in need.
