Green Team
TFC Recycling provides responsible waste solutions for school systems across Virginia and North Carolina. In 2006, TFC launched an innovative pilot recycling program with Virginia Beach City Public Schools. The TFC Green Team School Recycling Program provided recycling bins and collection for more than 5,000 classrooms, administrative offices and school cafeterias. This award-winning program has diverted more than 2,000,000 pounds of recyclables from the landfill and saves VBCPS thousands of dollars per month in waste removal costs. The Virginia Beach Schools program is the model for TFCs comprehensive school recycling program.
The Green Team program is easy for students, teachers, administrators and custodians because it brings single stream recycling to every classroom. Single stream recycling allows participants to throw all recyclable paper, plastic, aluminum cans and glass in ONE recycling bin. No sorting needed.
TFC provides each school with educational DVDs and presentations to ensure high particpation and a successful recycling program. If you would like more information on the TFC Green Team School Recycling Program please contact us at info@tfcrecycling.com or call (757) 543-5766.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.
