(April 19, 2013) – April 22 is officially Earth Day, but Fort Wayne’s Solid Waste Department and City Utilities have teamed up with the Dumpster Drummers to encourage area students to celebrate Earth Day everyday by implementing earth-friendly habits.<\/p>\n

Using recyclable items, and reclaimed items along with garbage carts and recycle carts as instruments, the Dumpster Drummers help City staff deliver environmental messages in a fun and engaging way. In the assembly titled: “Be Smart, Use Your Cart” students learn about the items that can and should be recycled as part of Fort Wayne’ s one-cart recycling program and those things that should be thrown away in the garbage. The “Earth Day Every Day” assembly adds information about protecting water resources and stresses activities such as picking up and properly disposing of pet waste and reducing the use of fertilizer and pesticides on the lawn and garden.<\/p>\n

School assemblies are scheduled as follows<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
