DeKalb Parks and Rec does not have a recycling program. DHYS is asking Team Parents to help in any way they can to recycle the many plastic bottles. Here are some suggestions:

Bring a reusable bottle from home and don't forget to take it back with you! Use a community GatorAde / water jug with reusable plastic cups. Each player can be responsible for their own cup. Bringing the team jug can be shared through the Snack Schedule. Please ask the parent on point for snacks to bring a recycling trash bag or bin from home. This can then go out with their regular recycling pickup. We also encourage any Scouts to consider helping DHYS develop a Recycling Program
