Sally and George have volunteered with many of our local organizations dedicating much time, energy, and talent.

We are seeking gently worn dress donations, which can be dropped off by Monday, April 12th on Grace Donohue’s front porch at 31 Gooch Street, or inside Jackie Bishop’s at 44 Henry Ave. The sale will be open to any MHS or MVMMS student, and will take place in front of MHS after school on April 14th.

Began working with the custodians to increase recycling of city-accepted curbside materials at the school. Put recycling bins out in the cafeteria during lunch. E-mailed teachers encouraging them to talk to their students about improving their recycling in the classrooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1581535338842-557V8BPT8LR8IFJ9A5Q6/TerraCycle_logo.jpg Recycling Programs at The Roosevelt - Introduced TerraCycle Recycling, a private company that recycles hard-to-recycle waste—i.e., wastes not handled by the city curbside program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1581257841812-JUI4C5C8UCMPDT5FYI1N/Roosevelt_Recycles.png Recycling Programs at The Roosevelt Both Principal Mary Beth Maranto and Ann Waitt, Assistant Director of DPW, have provided input and support for increasing recycling at Roosevelt. Roosevelt teachers have different levels of support and involvement in our efforts. Getting the students involved is a key to success; they need to check each other in their classrooms to be sure items are being put in the correct bins. Rather than teachers reminding students about recycling procedures in individual classrooms, we have found it is easier and more effective to remind the students during lunch in the cafeteria. It was extremely helpful/necessary to have a parent volunteer in the cafeteria to assist the custodian during lunch when these programs were introduced. However, it is difficult to continue to keep parents interested in volunteering. https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/plastic-straw-ordinance daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1574272992210-XKYOPX03DC2Q6ZJPP2XT/straws_color_danielle-macinnes-LSJI4KPqwBk-unsplash.jpg Plastic Straw Ordinance https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/recycling-faqs daily 0.75 2025-01-14 https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/interview-with-zwm-co-chairs daily 0.75 2019-12-09 https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/what-happens-to-recyclables daily 0.75 2021-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1581261013872-P36OJN6DLC8SUBPUFN4E/recycle-me-this-02.png What Happens to Recyclables? https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/reuse-resources daily 0.75 2025-01-20 https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/food-waste daily 0.75 2020-02-09 https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/recyclopedia daily 0.75 2020-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1588790190606-L075E49GBOXDOVV30W7A/RecycleSmart_logo.png Recyclopedia + Other Hard-To-Recycle Resources https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/alternatives-to-plastic daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/book-exchange-and-dropoff daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/food-waste-menu-of-resources daily 0.75 2021-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1619141014667-SOX1596WNS4U2SUXNPGF/FoodWasteQuiz_Graphic.jpg Food Waste: Menu of Resources - How much food do you really waste?

I know they look like hot dogs but they’re actually roasted carrots with jam & chili oil sprinkled with nuts and mint. You can use whatever jam & nuts you need to use up. I used fig and pecans but strawberry, grape, almonds would all work. I love the sweet, salty, mildly spicy flavors with a crunch. Recipe: Roast the carrots for 35 min. Add the nuts and roast for 5 min more. Toss the carrots with 1/4 cup jam whisked with 1/4 cup chili oil (adjust to your level of heat preference) and roast for 5 min. Top with the chopped roasted nuts and mint leaves. Enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/1619141251512-CNC91AFJP61JS8ZRB3D7/Avocado_chocolate_pudding.jpg Eat it All: Recipes & Tips - So what to do with avocados that are a little over ripe & bruised?

Here’s one of my favorites; Roasted Broccoli. I like it plain, Mike likes it topped with a lemon caper mayo and kids love it topped with cheese. Be sure to use the florets and the stems and slice lengthwise. As with roasting all veggies: Use high heat, spread them out and don’t be afraid to let them get brown. Recipe: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice broccoli and toss with olive oil, 1/2 tsp chili flakes and 1/2 tsp salt. Roast for 20 minutes until brown and crispy . Cheese topping: Top with 4oz grated cheddar cheese and return to the oven to melt the cheese . Lemon caper Mayo topping: mix together 1/2 cup Mayo*, 1 TBSP capers and the zest and juice of 1/2 lemon. * making your own (Mayo is easier than you might think but I’ll save that for another day LOL). https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/melrose-zwm-terracycle daily 0.75 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/238f6663-451a-4097-8ee9-36cedcaa8d2a/Terracycle-list-Aug2025.png TerraCycle Collection Download PDF https://www.zerowastemelrose.org/sustainablesaturdays daily 0.75 2023-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/47633166-f587-4966-9886-0d8b8d7a27dd/ZWM_SustainableSaturdays_logoART.png Sustainable Saturdays - Make it stand out Sustainable Saturdays Logo (Jackie Bishop Designs) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d882286e7a0e5258afdb4c1/78dec7b0-2a0a-4360-af59-19b9da103382/Sustainable+Saturdays+mural%2Blogo.png Sustainable Saturdays - To highlight the event series and bring more public art to downtown, Zero Waste Melrose collaborated with Follow Your Art Community Studios on a mural located at the event site at Melrose YMCA Park. “The mural aligns with our goal to put more focus on sustainability in our daily lives.
