LES Recycles Milk Containers

LES will be participating in the Bottle Buddy Brigade, which is a milk bottle upcycling project.

Upcycling-A process that takes used or recycled materials and creates a new product with a higher quality or value than the original materials.

The MCSD received a $20,000 grant from Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association which is one of 18 state and regional promotion organizations working under the umbrella of the United Dairy Industry Association.

MCSD will use funds to update outdated cafeteria equipment, modernize cafeteria atmosphere; promote dairy consumption, and healthy eating through signage and modern décor. That is why the Mifflin County Dairy Princess, Dina Zug, a dairy farmer, and Carolyn Weaver, Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association were here yesterday. That is also why I wore the inflatable Rita Recycle costume.
