How can my school get paper recycling bins?
Schools in need of FREE paper recycling bins for classrooms and common areas such as teacher workrooms and mail stations should contact Christina at christina.kasik@palmbeach.k12.fl.us with the following information:
- School name
- School recycling coordinator’s name and PX
- Number of classroom bins needed
- Number of larger, “central” collection bins needed
Please note that these bins are provided free of charge by the Solid Waste Authority (thanks, SWA!) and are typically delivered within 7-10 days of the date of our request. These bins are made of cardboard and should be treated with care so that they will last more than one school year.

Jupiter Middle School Wins First Recycling Award in the District
On October 15, 2008, the School Board recognized Jupiter Middle School’s “TreeHugger” Club for their outstanding school recycling efforts. Under the guidance of teachers Lisa Zern, Elizabeth Murray, and Robert Mann, the club is now in its third full year of paper and commingled recycling. In addition, the school has been recycling corrugated cardboard for many years. Paper is collected in big bins in the hallways and aluminum cans and plastic containers are collected in the cafeteria and also in many teachers’ classrooms.
