Recycling with the Scouts

For one of the boys achievements they needed to learn and do recycling so we took them to the local recycling center for a field trip. They boys thought the huge block of crushed soda cans was very cool. They seemed to really enjoy touring the place. The two boys who gave us the tour showed us everything right down to every bin of what they could recycle. There were lots of bins of every kind of metal and wire and anything you could think of.

The boys jumped on the giant scale. Together they weighed 506 lbs.

Grandpa Newbold went with us since he was in town. Everyone brought some stuff from home to recycle. Grandpa and Blake were are sorting the class from the cans.

They boys really were intrigued the whole time. They were especially excited at the end when they got to turn their stuff in for cash. Blake made $3. He decided he is now in charge of all the recycling at our house.
