Recycling Rebates

Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, SEIRD will be issuing Recycling Rebates to all participating schools throughout their seven county district.

SEIRD’s processing team has been tracking all recycled materials collected at each individual school, and will grant the market value of these products back to each institute. All schools that have recyclables picked up by SEIRD are eligible, and will receive two rebates per school year.

The rebates are intended to be used for environmentally-related school projects such as: recycling clubs and activities, tree planting and landscape needs, wildlife enhancement projects, or transportation costs to environmentally educational locations.

Along with the recycling rebates, SEIRD will remain a positive and productive outlet for education throughout the schools in their district. SEIRD educators are available for environmental presentations and activities for all grade levels including adult clubs and organizations.
