School Recycling Pilot Program CVWMA's two-year school recycling pilot program at thirteen schools in central Virginia has begun! Our intent is to study the amount of paper that can be recycled at schools. The information we collect will be shared with school districts in central Virginia at the pilot program's conclusion. Our goal is to encourage more schools in our area to implement recycling programs.
