Clark Creek Elementary Wins Elementary School Recycling Competition! The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerces Going Green & Education Committees co-sponsored a two-day Plastic Bag Recycling Competition, in partnership with Waste Management, between seven of Cherokee Countys elementary schools. The schools collected a total of 88,144 plastic bags. Clark Creek ES collected an amazing 28,813 plastic bags during the two-day event. Through a grant from Waste Management, the Chamber was able to fund this elementary school recycling initiative. The grant monies were used to purchase a bench made from recycled plastics for the winning school. The bench, which will be proudly displayed at Clark Creek Elementary, includes a plaque, which recognizes the school as the winner of the 2016 ES Recycling Competition. Through further partnership, the plastic bags collected were donated to MUST Ministries, who will use them to support their ongoing projects.
