To celebrate Earth Day on April 22, the Loudoun County Office of Solid Waste Management will offer the "It's Time To Recycle!" presentation kit, a resource developed for elementary school students that answers the questions "What really happens to the bottles, cans and paper that we set out for recycling?" and "Why should we recycle?" Production of the kit was funded by the Virginia Litter Prevention and Recycling Grant Program and includes a slide show presentation on CD (color transparencies are available upon request); speaker's notes; excerpts from the Virginia Standards of Learning as they relate to specific topics in the presentation; and exhibits to encourage student participation and foster their understanding of recycling concepts. Each of the county's public elementary schools has received a copy, as will several of the public libraries: Ashburn, Eastern Loudoun Regional, Purcellville, Rust, and Sterling. Additional copies are available on loan from the Office of Solid Waste Management. The presentation will also be available online at
