On August 27, members of the Republic Services team gathered on stage with the Snohomish County Council, Executive, Klickitat County Commissioner and the publisher of the Everett Daily Herald to kick off opening day at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, WA. As part of the festivities, Republic presented teachers and students of Highland Elementary with an award for achieving an excellent record in recycling. The theme of the day was community partnership on behalf of a greener tomorrow, something students demonstrated with tips to become better stewards of the environment. The Everett Herald highlighted several firsts including its unique partnership with Republic and the Newspaper in Education program, an effort that is bringing sustainability into classrooms all across the region.
