FDEP, Solid Choices: Thinking, Learning and Making Decisions About Solid Waste
Note: This project was developed by the University of South Florida; therefore educators will find in the non-Florida documents some references to Florida grade school standards and Florida solid waste management regulations; it was not possible to include standards and regulations for all 50 states.
Please contact your State's Department of Environmental Protection or Division of Solid Waste for current regulations regarding solid waste and recycling.
Try an Interactive Recycling Education Program entitled : "Recycling is Fun!" that promotes responsible waste management among our younger generation and shows elementary school teachers how they can meet some of the requirements of Florida Sunshine State Standards set forth by the Florida Department of Education.
