Operations
Each Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) site is responsible for collecting recyclables from inside the school and placing them at their school's recycling site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Monitor the "Feeding" of the Bin
Monitor trash and recycling containers to ensure that recyclables are being placed in the recycling bin and not the trash dumpster. Also check to ensure that trash is NOT going into the bin.
