The Green Team
 

The Fairfield PTAC Green Team is hosting their second ReSale! The last ReSale included hundreds of gently used books, toys, and clothes, generating almost $1500 for the Green Team's composting efforts! 

 

The Spring ReSale, on Saturday 4/26, will feature summer clothing, beach gear, lawn games, sports equipment and more. 

 

Help support the Green Team by donating items (see locations in flyer or drop at Emma's house!) or shop the sale on Earth Day. Reach out to Emma with questions or if you'd like to help out! emmajwebber@gmail.com 

 
 
Win an XPedition E-Bike! Support the Green Team by visiting the ReSale on 4/26 and earn a chance to win a new ebike with each $10 donation. If you can not make the event on 4/26 and would to donate for a chance to win, email Emma at emmajwebber@gmail.com
 
 
  
 

Composting volunteers needed!

  

Our composting program has been a HUGE success, so much so that every Fairfield elementary school and all 6th graders now compost in the lunchroom. You can see how much we've reduced our trash in these pictures which show one day's worth of trash before and after composting.

 

                   

 

The program works because we have parents helping our students separate their garbage into the correct bins. Please use this link to sign up for 30 min slots. I will provide instructions and will extend the sign up genius to later dates as the year goes on. Thank you all for your support and feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to help out further with the Green Team! emmajwebber@gmail.com

PLEASE RECYCLE OLD CLOTHING

(open year round) 

 

   

The Riverfield Green Team wants you to know about an opportunity to recycle unwanted textiles while fundraising for the PTA!  

 

There is a textile recycling bin located in the Riverfield parking lot

(left side) just as you exit.

 

 

  • Items that are still in good condition will be donated and reused.
  • Items not good enough to donate, may still be dropped in the bin for recycling (think: stained clothes, worn out shoes, ripped linens & towels, even stuffed animals!) 
  • Click here to see the many ways these items are repurposed
  • Please just be sure that all items are bagged securely. 

   

Riverfield PTA earns $100 per ton of textiles collected!
