Bringing Recycling to Oak Grove High School

the problem:

In my city, the recycling programs are very poor. Hardly anybody recycles. I felt lead to make an impact in my school and community by providing my school with a recycling program. The challenge was very difficult; however, I managed to find a company (Curbside Recycling) that agreed to service my school and establish a recycling project. The bad news is that Curbside Recycling is asking over $120 just for the recycling bins!! plus an additional $10 every month to cover their gas and service expenses. I've gone to my prinicipal seeking advice on how to recieve finacial help. He is not willing to open a Recycling Fund or account. The PTO also is not supportive of my project and will not provide any support. Local businesses have donated to the school recently in order for my school to get a turf football field. Now, they too, are not willing to help me finacially. Therefore, all the expenses are coming out of my pocket! It will not be too long before I am broke and my school's recycling program will end.
