Recycling event information

11/13/2025 UPDATE: Due to heavy rain in the forecast for this weekend, the IUSD Recycling Event, which was scheduled for Saturday, November 15, has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date.

We encourage you to check iusd.org/News, Instagram and Facebook for the rescheduled date. Thank you to all those who have collected recyclables thus far!


Join the Recycling Drive Challenge! The IUSD Sustainability Department is inviting all students to gather your recyclables and bring them to the Irvine Unified District Office (5050 Barranca Parkway, Irvine) on November 15 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a chance to win prizes for your school!

What to Collect:

  • Mixed Wastepaper (junk mail, newspapers, magazines, cereal boxes, office paper)
  • CRV Cans & Bottles (California Redemption Value containers)
  • Food & Beverage Cartons (juice, milk, and food cartons)

Please empty all liquid from containers. No electronics or batteries. Recyclables must be bagged, and CRV cans & bottles must be bagged separately from paper.

The Green Guy and Resilience will also be in attendance for signing autographs!

Let’s work together to keep our schools and community green!
