Educational Programs
 The Field Operations Department offers several opportunities for teachers, organizations, and individuals to learn about recycling and waste reduction. We can tailor a presentation to fit the needs of your group -- all ages and any size, at your location or ours. What happens to your recyclables once they leave your home? Find out when you visit the FCR Recycling Facility for a live presentation, a video, and a view of the actual sorting process for recyclables. Center presentations are usually conducted on weekdays, except Wednesdays. Other times may be available by request. Presentations may last from 15 minutes to one hour, depending on the needs and interest of your group.
Evening & Weekend Education
Learn more about recycling at one of our recycling presentations! All sessions are free and cover the importance of recycling, what happens to recyclable materials when they leave the recycling center, and what materials can be recycled in Greensboro.
Second Graders & Recycling
Recycling is part of the NC core curriculum and fits into the second grade science program. By teaching children about the recycling process early, recycling can become a life value. Additionally, when we teach children, we also reach adults - parents, teachers, and other members of the community.
The Second Graders & Recycling program is a hands-on presentation that teaches children about the importance of recycling; the meaning behind the three arrows in the recycling symbol; the components of the waste reduction process (the three R's of recycling); what is recyclable in Greensboro's program: what happens to recyclables when they leave their home; and much more.
