• Our school community is invested in repurposing and recycling as much as possible, to foster creativity, reduce waste and encourage good habits. The COPPTA Sustainability Committee is thoughtful about what makes sense to be collected at our school and some partnerships even give back to the school in turn for our efforts!

    Every bit counts and we appreciate your support. Look for the collection bins in the front vestibule of the school. Please be mindful about reading descriptions to ensure your donations fulfill any requirements.

    Blue Bag Bottle Drop

    • BottleDrop cans and bottles recycling
      • Pick up a blue bag in the front vestibule or at a PTA meeting
      • Fill it with 10 cent deposit cans and bottles
      • Drop it off at any BottleDrop site (use the QR code on the bag to open the drop door) or at one of our drop-off events throughout the year
      • REPEAT as many times as you want!
      • Another way to participate is by selecting Cedaroak Park Primary PTA to donate your current BottleDrop funds to from your own account
