Support the Ironia School Community as we
expand our efforts and reinforce to our children |
|
|
the benefits of “going
green.”
Help us to reduce, reuse and recycle!
Throughout the year the |
|
|
PTA sponsors several green initiatives. The
environmentally friendly service learning projects |
|
|
provide the opportunity to teach our children
and protect our planet. Won’t you join
us? |

| Cell Phone, iPod, Digital Camera Recycling Program |
|
|
|
The Ironia 5th Grade Class (class of 2011!)
will be collecting used hand held electronic |
|
|
|
devices (cell phones, iPods, digital cameras,
etc) throughout the year. All items
will be |
|
|
|
recycled and save space in our landfills! The proceeds from the program will benefit |
|
|
|
the 5th grade class gift to Ironia. A collection container may be found on the
stage in |
|
|
|
the cafeteria.
Please drop all items in the container. We will be happy to recycle them for |
|
|
you!
Thank you for supporting the class of 2011! If you have any questions, please contact |

Plastic Caps Recycling |
|
|
Through the combined efforts of Mrs. Friedland
(2nd grade teacher), Mrs. Soldivieri (5th |
|
|
grade teacher) and the Ironia PTA, we will
continue to collect plastic caps and soda tabs. |
|
All items will be sorted and
recycled/donated. Caps and tabs will
be counted in our Box |
|
Box Tops Classroom Collection Contest. Be sure to watch for details! |
|
|
*Please remember to
clean all caps or they will not be accepted and counted in the contest. |

Inkjet Recycling Program |
|
|
Ironia School is proud to support an ink and
toner cartridge recycling program.
Families are |
|
|
invited to bring all empty cartridges to Ironia
and place them in the labeled corrugated recycling |
|
|
box located at the Ironia main entrance. Empty cartridges will be reused or recycled
through |
|
|
the sustainability efforts of National
Cartridge Supply (NCS). NCS is the
only company that is |
|
|
EPA compliant.
The program will result in landfill waste reduction, CO2 emissions
reductions |
|
|
and energy reductions. Through the EPA alliance, Ironia will be a
Certified Recycler. Ironia |
|
|
will receive quarterly reports and earn
rebates. If you have any questions,
please contact |
