Welcome everyone. We will start at 3pm.

I am dialed in and was told that there are 7 participants but I hear silence only.

Sound check was good, thank you.

We'll start the webinar at 3pm.

Will the presentation be available to download afterwards? Thank you.

Please post your questions here.

Please post your questions for Dan or CJ here. Thanks.

where did you purchase the 'pour away' liquid containers and what was the rough cost?

How does one address the custodial staff, since they work for the school administration? not sure if they have union contracts?

If they have explicit ways of doing things, under contract, how does the community ask them to do something new??

AT our school, I have found that kids are not given the opportunity to wash their plastics during the school day, and thus, they get thrown out or potentially contaminate the bins. Ideas.... does the school need to invest in a sink in the cafeteria... classrooms...?

Any of your school compost on site or have compost picked up ? How does the school curriculum interface , if it does, with the actual recycling ?

CJ, do you charge for your magic services? To come to schools and educate our youth, administrators, parents?

Do schools have to purchase special bins for compost materials?

yogurt containers etc.... for lunch/snack.

disposable plastics for food

Any more questions as we wrap up?

lots of good ideas for our small town to do better in our recycling efforts thank you for interesting websites and info presented today

!!

We do too.. want to know about the magic programs...

www.cyrilthesourcerer.com

www.betterworldmagic.com

Is there grant money for schools if they wanted to add a sink to their cafeteria for students to rinse plastics and reduce plastic trash?

Actually the kid-focused magic is www.cyrilthesorcerer.com, not "sourcerer"!

has this been recorded so that I could listen again? I missed part one of the webinar?

This webinar is being recorded and will be put on DEEP's webpage for Municipal Recycling Coordinator - Archived Webinars and Newsletters

containers: I am going to get some local businesses to sponsor earth day , but specifically donating for the purchase of composting bins.

Hi Everyone, I work at Sustainable CT (thanks for the shout-out Dan!), and can confirm that recycling, food scraps, and composting programs with schools are potentially eligible projects for our funding

Abe - can you share your webpage?

www.sustainablect.org

The ioby link provides the more complete overview of our program

I have used the app at CT DEEP for whats in/whats out and sometimes I don't see the item in question.. what do you suggest. Apologies if this has already been addressed.

How did Bill get the statistics for his schools recycling?

Thank you...
