In the early parts of this year, Del Weinhold started a recycling program at Lovell Middle School in Lovell Wyoming. As the amount of products coming to the trailers incresed he added a new trailer specificly for cardboard because the cardboard took up too much room in the one trailer and in began to overflow. With to two trailers now he averages about 600 pounds in carboard per trip, which is every other week and 1500-2000 pounds on the recycling trailer per week. Now that the project is so big, it is managed bu the National Park Service and as of now over 52000 pounds have been recycled.
In my opinion I think this project is good because most people probably just throw things in the trash that can be recycled but now they have somewhere they can take it. Also now that the National Park Service runs the project I think that they could get more publicity and over National Parks might start projects similar to this. I also think that it is cool how they included a list of what can and can not be recycled.
