The Milford School Board believes that it is our responsibility to ensure that our students and staff are aware of the importance of recycling materials whenever possible to conserve the world’s limited resources, and to conserve energy while exercising sound financial practices. To this end, the Milford School District encourages all staff and students to recycle materials that would otherwise become waste, including, but not limited to, paper, cardboard, bottles, and cans, from throughout all school buildings and grounds.

The implementation and adherence of this policy is the responsibility of the entire school community. Success in reducing waste through recycling is based on the cooperation of everyone.

To ensure success in the district’s recycling efforts, the following areas will be adopted:
  1. All district personnel are expected to support recycling efforts throughout the schools.
  1. A system to estimate recycled and non-recycled quantities for each school building will be implemented.
  1. Teachers are encouraged to include educational lessons on recycling in the curriculum when appropriate.
