School Recycling Contest Tips

 

There are so many ways you can use a school recycling contest to inspire action among students. Here are some tips from real Recycle Rally schools.

 

• “We have used ice cream parties, candy/cookies as incentives. Our school’s positive behavior program also gives tickets to students to earn things in the school store.” (Pine Forest High School)
• “The person with the greatest total will be crowned king or queen of recycling, complete with crown or tiara and plaque.” (Sandalwood High School)
• Let the winners decide how to spend your Recycle Rally points. “We used prizes for recycling rallies and Earth Day events. Whether we are in-person or remote, our school is still able to earn money in the form of gift cards. We purchased medals, trophies, and school supplies!” (Vernon Middle School)

In addition to the rewards you can earn using your Recycle Rally points, you can also use our free printables as incentives.
