Recycling

Welcome to the Guilford County Schools Maintenance Department Recycling section. As adults, it is our responsibility to maintain a healthy environment for future generations. If this is to be accomplished, we must continue to educate and inform our students about the environmental issues they will face in the future. Recyclable Materials and other links have been furnished to help with promoting recycling within Guilford County Schools.
