Bend-La Pine School to Recycle Old Textbooks

Bend-La Pine Schools recently adopted the "Really Great Reading Curriculum," a new elementary curriculum presenting the challenge of responsibly disposing of old materials. There is currently no local recycling market for hard-bound textbooks, so at the end of last school year, students, custodians and other staff sent the district's hard-bound books to a company that processes wastepaper, which diverted about 66 cubic yards of books from Knott Landfill in Bend, according to a press release.
