Vernon: A Proud Oregon Green School!

Saving resources, one school and one student at a time.

In schools across Oregon, students, teachers and staff are conserving resources and making a difference in their communities. As a proud Oregon Green School, Vernon is helping provide student and community opportunities for hands-on assistance, creative and meaningful curriculum and learning opportunities, and statewide recognition for our green efforts.

From Roseburg to Portland to Baker, nearly 200 schools are on the Oregon Green Schools map with effective programs to recycle, reduce waste, save energy and conserve water.

Vernon School currently recycles paper, cardboard, #2 plastics, batteries, and electronic waste through Portland Public Schools.

Vernon School recycles #1 plastics through New Seasons,  #5 plastics and styrofoam through James Recycling, and #2 plastics, glass and tin through the City of Portland.
