Event Details

As part of the Sustainable Libraries Initiative, we are “challenging” teens to consciously recycle and earn community service and money at the same time!  This is what you do:

  1. You can recycle any bottles or cans that have a deposit on it. 
  2. Bring your items to any store that accepts these recyclables.  
  3. For every 20 items you recycle you will earn one hour of community service!  
  4. Email us a picture of the receipt (must be dated within 30 days of submission), your first and last name, and  your grade with RECYCLING CHALLENGE in the subject line.  
  5. We will email you a community service certificate within 2 weeks.  The money you receive is yours to keep.  
  6. Please send emails to youthconnection@shpl.info or jgriffing@shpl.info.  This challenge is for SHPL cardholders in grades 6-12.
