Read what some of our users are saying: Jean Ponzi of Community Radio's EARTHWORMS Friday, 2/25/00, 8:26 AM Yippee!! SLTRC is on the web, as well as on the road around St. Louis and active in the national network of resource recycling centers. Susan, your cylinders, strands, blocks, punch-outs, dots, rings, rolls, etc. are extraordinary materials to put into the hands of teachers - and to keep out of landfills. We are so fortunate in St. Louis to have the SLTRC, and our "Hands, Hearts and Minds" are working more creatively thanks to you and your contributions to education and recycling! |
"Van Go"...Goes Around and Comes Around ... and Makes a Grand Impression. The St. Louis Teachers' Recycle Center, Inc. gathers creative materials from local business and industry that are landfill-bound and makes them available to teachers, parents and youth groups. Susan Blandford, the Center's Director opened the first of five centers in St. Louis in 1992. Since then, the excitement of teachers has spread throughout the region and the demand for a traveling recycle center became apparent. Last year the St. Louis-Jefferson Solid Waste Management District funded SLTRC to buy a van to help deal with the demand from teachers for materials. Because of this demand SLTRC created the recycle center on wheels - "Van Go". The St. Louis Teachers' Traveling Recycle Center, "Van Go", can schedule a stop at your school, preschool, day care center, or any children's program, and bring wonderful bags of "unburied treasures" suitable for little hands to create "Starry Nights" and "Sidewalk Cafes". Call (636) 227-7095 to schedule a stop or to find out the location nearest to you. SLTRC also provides an adult workshop, "The Play Experience, Play for Peace." Creative play is a source of wisdom and healing. Discover new ways of helping adults develop the power to think creatively, to collaborate and communicate across emotional, cultural and socio-economic barriers. The St. Louis area has proven that "we are all in this together" by supporting this win-win-win program for the past eight years. Industry wins by lessening their contribution to the landfill, teachers win by having access to high-quality materials for their classrooms, but most of all, our children win by having good materials to put their hands and minds around. THANK YOU ST. LOUIS! Additional services provided are teacher training, children's workshops, and adult creativity workshops. Also, SLTRC's, "Share-the-Wares" Program gives discounted visits to volunteers and materials contributors. Pick up information about any of SLTRC's programs at the following Earth Day sites: Missouri Botanical Gardens, Healthy Planet Expo, the St. Louis Zoo, or the Forest Park "Endangered Species Parade".
