Did you know that some teachers spend hundreds of dollars every year to help stock extra supplies for their classrooms and students in need? At the same time, usable supplies sit, unused, or forgotten at home or workplaces. 

Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling have set up the School Supply Collection and Reuse Project to make sure usable materials don't go to waste. After you clean out those craft bins, basements, closets and offices, bring your donations of usable school supplies to the Information tent at the Hillsboro Saturday Market any Saturday through the end of October.

Your donations will help educators and students in Washington County.
