THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 



SUSTAINABILITY 

Helpsy bins were placed at 14 school building locations just prior to the start of the school year. In the first three months, the collection bins diverted a total of 55,271 pounds of unwanted textiles from the waste stream and generated $6,079.81 in revenue!


As a reminder, the Massachusetts textile ban went into effect on November 1, 2022. This means that textiles are banned from disposal or transport for disposal in Massachusetts. The textile collection bins help Newton comply with the ban, keep textiles out of the waste stream, and generate revenue to support sustainability initiatives in the schools.
