Expedition Academy was declared the winner in a national recycling contest sponsored by the can industry and was awarded $6000 in prize money. Expedition Academy recycled a total of 120,996 cans, the most of any participating school in Wyoming. Recycling Coordinator for Expedition, Norri Gunter stated, “Without the help of our city’s Solid Waste Management team and our wonderful maintenance staff, this win would not have been possible.” The city of Green River’s Solid Waste Management Division hosted a citywide cleanup of which the collected aluminum went towards Expedition’s efforts in the
competition. The Sweetwater County School District #2 maintenance staff not
only emptied Expedition’s collection containers but also took their cans and other
recyclables to the city’s collection facility. “This was really a team effort. The
support we received from our community during this and last year’s competition
has been amazing”, said Gunter.
