Green Up Our Schools is working with 33 elementary schools during the 2012-2013 school year. With your support we'll be able to continue educating environmentally responsible young citizens and we can expand the program to reach many more children!

For every $2,000 that is donated to Green Up Our Schools, we'll be able to include another school in the program.


Green Up Our Schools is the only national non-profit organization that engages elementary students in recycling and waste reduction programs.

Our team provides elementary schools with the funding and support that they need to recycle more material and produce less waste, while exposing children to environmental stewardship at an early age.



Why choose Green Up Our Schools to champion the cause?

  • Recycling rates at participating schools increased by 45% on average
  • Schools recycled an additional 48,000 lbs of material in 2010
  • 100% program retention rate
  • $16,000 in grants awarded to schools in 2011
