The Tri-County Recycling Partnership is proud to announce the release of The ABC’s of Recycling Right, an engaging new educational resource designed to teach third-grade students the importance of recycling. The book provides up-to-date recycling information using every letter of the alphabet, paired with interactive in-classroom activities that make learning about recycling fun and hands-on.
The ABC’s of Recycling Right is more than just a book—it’s a tool for teachers to inspire the next generation of environmentally conscious citizens. Each letter introduces a new recycling concept and includes a classroom activity, helping students learn by doing and reinforcing good recycling habits from an early age.
To support local education and sustainability, the Tri-County Recycling Partnership is providing free copies of the book to all public and private third-grade classrooms in Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties. By bringing current recycling information directly into classrooms, the Partnership hopes to spark curiosity, promote responsible environmental practices, and empower students to make a difference in their communities.
“We’re thrilled to bring recycling education back into the classroom in such an interactive way,” said Kelly Reyer, Education & Outreach Specialist with Winnebago County Solid 91ֿ. “By combining up-to-date recycling information with hands-on activities, we’re helping students understand not just the ‘why’ but also the ‘how’ of recycling.”
Teachers in the three counties can expect to receive their copies soon, along with resources to guide classroom activities during the week of October 20th. The ABC’s of Recycling Right is part of the Tri-County Recycling Partnership’s ongoing effort to engage students, teachers, and families in building a more sustainable future.
