Trash Talkin' with Mr. T!

Did you know that you can help out Battlefield Park AND save the environment? Don't throw your trash away, recycle it at BPES and earn cash for our school. Need a fridge-friendly copy for a reminder? We got you covered right here.

Contact Mr. T. (Richard Troxel) at rtroxel@hcps.us with any questions or comments regarding this program.
