What a great idea! Take materials destined for the landfill and donate them to the Tools 4 Schools Recycling Center! Teachers then use the materials for creative projects in their classrooms.

Help Our Schools: Teacher often struggle with decreasing budgets, forcing them to do more with less. Many end up doing with out or spending money from their own pockets for supplies. Your donations make a difference!
Help the Environment: In addition, the recycling center helps the environment by reusing materials that would otherwise go to the landfill, conserves resources, and provides a positive outlet for useable surplus products.
The new 3 Rs: Recycle, Reuse, Recreate.
Business Benefits: Donations to Tools 4 Schools benefits your business in many ways:
- Reduce waste & disposal costs
- Support public schools
- Public recognition for your donations; donors are listed in the UAC newsletter, Arts Alive, (2,000+ distribution) and on the Tools for Schools/UAC Web site.
