Montgomery County’s Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Solid Waste Services will present the “3 R’s Magic Show”, an interactive educational program on the importance of protecting the environment through waste reduction, reuse and recycling to students at various private schools in the County.
Schools were selected based on the strength of their individual recycling efforts during the school year. This educational program expands students’ awareness and knowledge about reducing waste, reusing items and recycling and motivates them to increase their participation in the County’s recycling program at home and school.
