Recycling at OCSA

Did you know that OCSA recycles paper, as well as cans and bottles? OCSA has partnered with My Recycler to go green! All proceeds from recyclables go to Project Hope Alliance to help combat child homelessness in Orange County. Green Bins in classrooms are for paper, and the Blue Bins in classrooms are for cans and bottles!
