For the seventh year in arow, LES students are readyto take on the challengeagainst other Horry Countyschools to see which schoolcan collect the most recy-clable materials in the 11thyear of the Horry CountySolid Waste Authority’s“Talkin’ Trash” program.

Kendra Hucks, recyclingcoordinator for the SWA,visited the school Sept. 9 forthe program’s kickoff, alongwith Bruce Refuse, the pro-gram’s entertaining mascot.

Hucks explained the pro-gram through a short filmand power-point presenta-tion, and fielded good ques-tions from a large group ofLES fourth graders.

“The students get reallyexcited about the program,and Loris Elementary hasalways been a leader and agreat example of how therecycling program is impor-tant in our communities,”said Hucks.

LES has won variousawards over the years, andlast year won several newcomputers and was a leadereach month of the year’sefforts.

Susan Graham of LES hasbeen the school’s programleader for the past fouryears and has already begun

plans to make LES a recy-cle-friendly drop-off school.

“We have set up differentrecycle points throughoutthe school where the stu-dents can easily drop-offOctober’s recyclables, whichis newspapers, on their wayto class after breakfastwhich makes it easy forthem, and gives everyone achance to take part and rec-ognize the drop-off points,”said Graham.

Graham urges the com-munity to get involved byshowing support for the stu-dent’s efforts, dropping offrecyclables or by contactingthe school about how tohelp.

Each month a differentrecyclable is collected bythe students at school. Theschool that recycles themost items that monthwins. The contest is open toany public school in HorryCounty with fourth gradeclasses.

Each participating schoolreceives an eight-yarddumpster to collect theirrecyclables. Each school isjudged based on the num-ber of pounds collected perfourth grade student permonth.
