Community Fundraising Events

KidsCan! Aluminum Can Recycling

Queen City Metal Recycling and Salvage will come to Waddell at various times throughout the school year (monthly) to collect aluminum cans from our families. They will pay us for every pound of cans collected and will provide the school with collection bins only on collection day.

How this will work:

~This is for aluminum cans ONLY. Ask friends, neighbors and co-workers for their cans. Perhaps set up a collection bin at your place of work or ask a local restaurant to set them aside for you.
~RINSE the cans and then CRUSH them if you can. You want them to be clean and take up the least amount of space while you wait for the next QCMR pick up date.
~On the scheduled QCMR collection date, have your student bring their bag(s) to school.
~PLEASE NOTE: It is OK for the cans to be in plastic bags for QCMR but NOT for Mecklenburg County Curbside collection! No plastic bags should ever go in your green roll out recycling bin.
~On collection day there will be boxes on pallets in front of the school, at carpool and at the bus lot. You can fit a LOT of flattened cans in a standard plastic grocery bag to make it easy for students to carry on the buses. Parent volunteers will help direct you to the bins and can help students carry the bags to the appropriate locations. Follow instructions and be sure to not impede the flow of traffic in carpool.
~Collection will be ongoing throughout the school year so designate a space at home to store your cans until our announced collection days!
~The plan is for the revenue generated from this effort to be used in some fashion toward the new school (perhaps additional playground equipment).
~Talk with your kids about the importance of recycling and how each little thing we do for the planet helps. The message we hope to drive home is that KidsCAN! We can empower our global thinkers to help solve a global problem.
