Fundraising/ involvement ideas for recycling bins at High school? anyone?
Over the summer i started a recycling movement through our high school's chapter of FCCLA and now I am officer of that project, so I need some fundraising/ donation ideas to get the bins put in place in the high school, and hopefully then on the the lower schools here having FCCLA teach the little kids about recycling. I just can't think of any ideas yet. So any help or advice on this endeavor would be appreciated, a lot.–P.S. any other advice just on the recycling program itself would help here, the idea's just only taking off so tips help! thanks–especially student involvement ideas
wow new age man, that's an awesome idea! i love the music thing, i remember having a concert benefit last year for something similar and i do know some musical friends of mine…the bands did perform very willingly last year to get PR this could be a very good thing! ooh, i'm so excited! oh, hey what do y'all think about the slogan "it's not easy being green." with something as an ending tagline like 'but we do it anyway'or, "we do it for —-" ? oh i'm so excited!
thank you
on another note, a lot of you are saying donations are to be made! and i know to ask small businesses yes, but what about larger ones that may have a little extra weight to throw around, know any that are known for this type of thing?
You're amazing. Really. To see a high school student taking these steps is heartwarming.

For you fundraising ideas, you might try to get some of the musicians in your school to throw a Sustainability Benefit. Look to LiveEarth as an example of what can be done:

These concerts connected over 1/3 of the world's population over a period of 24 hours, and the recycling team that supported these shows had an average of 92% waste stream diversion from landfills.
Check with this company for inspiration/advice. The President and VP are friends of mine, and they would love to know that younger generations are taking up the torch.

It should not cost you anything for the bins… that's if you're contracting with a company who provides them and plans to give you a percent of what they earn on the recycled materials. If they insist on payment for bins, I suggest you shop around.
Should you need to do fundraisers for other purposes, always think "Win-Win" with your efforts. A school carnival is an example of a Win-Win… the kids all have fun, get some prizes, and you still make a profit. I think candy sales are more of a Win-Lose… you get the money, and they get stuck with some calories!

How about recyling soda cans for money? American Consumer News has some articles that may help you get started. I think one of the problems would be where to store them until they are taken in to be sold. But I'm sure with a little research and by involving people in your community that will not be too much of an issue.

Some teens in cities around america have approached companies in their town for assistance in obtaining recycling bins. Some large companies have donated money for one or more, smaller companies have donated money towards the bins.

My DECA chapter did a similar thing, but it was for a DECA project, and the bins were donated by a local company.

With the current economic difficulties, most non-profit (and most for-profit as well) organizations find it a real challenge to keep donations at a level that is sufficient. Would you be interested in hearing about a new and innovative hybrid program, that will bring in not only sufficient funds for your organization, but you will see a potential increase in funds each and every single month?
Our program is a great solution for those who are struggling with these common problems in our economy. Our new and innovative program provides a stable—in fact, a potentially increasing— source of income when times get rocky. You will be setting your organization up for success. Want to get involved?
