The document discusses recycling efforts at Dunbar-Pulaski school. It notes that the school recycles metal cans, cardboard, and paper, but only has a bin for paper products. Any litter on the ground risks contaminating groundwater. While nature recycles vegetation, Styrofoam should be discarded properly instead of in paper bins since it can destroy the ozone layer if released into the air.
