School Sorting Guide

October 21, 2008

RRFB Nova Scotia has produced a new resource for schools – a school sorting guide. This guide provides general sorting rules as they apply to common materials you would find in a school. The guide also provides information on the free educational resources provided by RRFB Nova Scotia, including resource books and free presentations. As well, the guide contains various tips on how your students can reduce their waste, and even raise money by recycling!

To order copies of the guide for classrooms in your school, please call 1-877-313-RRFB [7732] or email info@rrfb.com. You can also download a copy of the School Sorting Guide.
