New School Recycling Program!

Congratulations to Humble ISD and Waste Management for beginning a mixed recycling program in all schools in the District! Students can now recycle all aluminum cans and plastic bottles at their school. Mom and Dad, after rinsing, save the cans in one bag and the plastic bottles in another. Send them periodically to school with your children. Schools will be able to win prizes and cash from Pepsico based on the number of products collected. Keep Kingwood Green has been happy to partner with the school district by helping with the system wide training for this new program.
