Recycling Final Cleanout (Foulis) All Classes-New

As the school year comes to a close, the BLS Recycling Committee will host the Final Clean Out for 2026, a two-day volunteer opportunity dedicated to helping recycle and sort the school’s recyclable waste before summer begins. It will take place on June 22 and June 25!

Students who participate will be excused from class and receive 3 hours of community service per day. You may sign up for one day or both days, but please complete the sign-up form if you plan to attend. There will also be ice cream and other treats available for volunteers at the end of each day!

Sign-ups are due June 18th @11:59 PM. There is a limited number of spots available, so sign up HERE quickly! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeiV3IJGxvGYJ1OieTfZZcw6_NfjxM9z3Lvfy0bqkLDP-nLVQ/viewform

Additionally, we are looking for a small group of Transporter/Elevator Volunteers to help move recycling bins between floors and the dining hall. These volunteers will receive first access to ice cream and treats at the end of the event.

If you have any questions, please email bls.recyclingcommitte@gmail.com or refer to the procedure document.
