Black Mountain Elementary School Waste Reduction Data

Different grade levels at Black Mountain Elementary School have begun to recycle to reduce the amount of solid waste sent to the landfill. The fifth grade came up with a plan to recycle paper and plastic and to collect data on how we are doing.

This Data is for Grade 5 November and December. It includes totals for recycled materials and garbage graphed by week.

• How much did we reduce the amount of garbage for each week by recycling?
• How does the week of December 20th differ from the other weeks? Why do you think it differs?
• This graph is in kilograms, how many pounds of paper and plastic are being recycled?
