4. Mission Statement
The mission of Team Reusables is to
encourage recycling among students, their
families and surrounding communities. By
demonstrating proper recycling procedures,
expanding their general knowledge of
recycling and providing examples of reusing
items we are empowering the students to
lead by example and be role models for the
younger generation.
