Recycling is now in full swing at Vineyard Ranch. Each Teacher at the school has been provided with a recycling bin to be used in their classroom for collecting items.
In addition, there are bins in the cafeteria for collecting recyclables for the school. With the help of the cafeteria staff and volunteers we have been able to start collecting drink pouches during each shift.
There are a variety of items that are collected at the school. These items can all be dropped off in the student’s classrooms
or in the cafeteria.

Vineyard Ranch PTA has partnered with TerraCycle to start a number of Recycling Programs at our school.
From now on, instead of tossing items into the trash, bring them to school to earn Terracycle Points for our school. TerraCycle points are redeemable for up-cycled products, charitable gifts or payment to our school. Think of it as Win-Win situation.
The items collected will be sent to TerraCycle, an international upcycling and recycling company that collects difficult-to-recycle packaging and products and re-purposes the material into affordable, innovative products, according to terracycle.com. Our program helps earn money for our school while keeping unnecessary amounts of trash out of our landfills.
