Ever wonder what happens after the recycling truck leaves your curb? Our 5th graders found out last week during their field trip to the Polk County Recycling Center!
From watching the sorting lines to learning about what actually happens to our plastic, glass, and cardboard, it was an eye-opening day for everyone. Big thanks to the staff at the center for showing us how we can all do our part to keep Polk County beautiful.
It wasn't just a day away from the desk; it was a deep dive into sustainability. A huge shoutout to our teachers and chaperones for making this trip possible!
