Mission Recycle
Chaminade-Madonna Goes GREEN
Phase 1 of the C-M Recycling Program, Mission Recycle, will begin on Monday, November 9. This will start as a mentor activity to create awareness and begin the process of creating an environmental friendly culture at our school.
The Environmental Club will ensure that all classrooms have one Blue Recycle Bin and one Trash Bin for non recyclables.
Our Program is a Comingled Recycling Program, which means that all recyclable materials can be disposed of in the same bin.
