Riverfield Recycling

Families that drop off their recycling at Riverfield help us pay for science equipment,  class pet supplies, and barnyard animal supplies.  Riverfield science and service students help coordinate and participate in Raven Recycling on campus. 

Aluminum Cans

We receive a significant profit for recycling aluminum cans through Sims Metal Management, so please smash the aluminum cans and place them in one of the Recycle Huts located in the Upper School parking lot or the back parking lot of the Main Building. Cans can be dropped off at any time or on the first Friday of each month.

Riverfield partners with Mr. Murph to collect various recyclables. There are two Mr. Murph bins on campus - in the Upper School parking lot and in the back parking lot of the Main Building.
