The purpose of education is not knowledge but action. Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know. We want to promote recycling to all ages and make them aware of the consequences of not doing so. Programs and Presentations The Southeastern Indiana Recycling District’s (SEIRD) staff
often makes recycling presentations to classrooms, civic clubs and
organizations, or governmental meetings to advocate
environmental stewardship to the public. This is a free service, and is
available throughout their seven-county district comprised of Franklin, Jefferson,
Jennings, Ohio, Ripley, Scott, and Switzerland Counties.
We stand ready to assist your school, organization, or municipality to learn
about the benefits of conscientious recycling and solid waste management. Tours
of our Jefferson County Recycle Center and facilities are available at no charge,
by appointment. Contact Aaron Bell at aaron@seird.org to schedule your program or tour today.
One Man's Trash and Trash Talk!
Available quarterly, SEIRD produces
two educational publications that are distributed throughout schools and area
newspapers. “One Man’s Trash…” and Trash
Talk! are guides to Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle. Content includes
recycling tips, facts, crafts and features on businesses that are reusing and
repurposing recyclable materials. Did you know that a company can make the
soles for six pairs of shoes from one car tire? Did you know that plastic soft drink bottles
are being turned into polyester that becomes fleece blankets and hoodies?
SEIRD publications include topics that review subjects such as
limiting waste by rethinking purchases, analyzing buying habits, and
more.
