Recycling earns $16,600 for school

  Maxwell Elementary School's parent-led recycling program surpassed its $15,000 goal for the school year. "We're at $16,600 right now," parent volunteer Judith Hodges said May 19, the last day of classes at the Thomson school. "We collect about 20 different items," Hodges explained. They range from chip bags and juice pouches to ink cartridges and cell phones. Recycled items are shipped to TerraCycle Inc., of Trenton, N.J.
