The North East Kingdom Waster Management District wants to become more involved with the school district, which includes the schools in Lyndon. This means raising more awareness among children about the importance of recycling.
The recycling rates for the district are not that good with less than 20 percent of the NEK recycling. Since 2007, Lyndon State College has removed about 98 tons of compost from the waste.
Saturday, May 7th is Green-Up Day, and May 7th through May 14th is Lyndon's bulky pick up week. Visit www.nekwmd.org to find out more about these events, as well as a listing of hazardous waste collection dates and other ways to contribute to recycling and properly disposing of waste.
