Classroom Labels for Recycling, Compost & More - Earth Day

Is your classroom ready to go green? Recycling in the classroom is an important way to teach students to care for our Earth. Starting a recycling routine in your classroom can be a daunting task, as communities have varying guidelines for what can be recycled, and children sometimes struggle to learn to sort recyclables properly. These labels will help simplify the process for you! Each label shows clear, realistic examples of each type of recyclable/waste item, and has its own vivid color to make distinctions even easier. Mix and match the labels that best suit the needs of your classroom. See the thumbnails for photos of examples!
