Or WOULD be having to go without, if not for a special program put into place:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>During the past five years, teachers from Clarke, Madison, Oconee and Oglethorpe counties have been able to stretch their supply budget by taking advantage of the Teacher Re-Use Store, a clearinghouse run by the Athens-Clarke Solid Waste Department&#8217;s Recycling Division.<\/p>\n<p>Local businesses, like Merial, a veterinary pharmaceuticals company, and the University of Georgia, donate items that otherwise would end up in a landfill and the store invites teachers to go &#8220;shopping&#8221; for supplies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s kind of like a huge yard sale, but everything is free,&#8221; said Suki Janssen, waste reduction administrator for the Athens-Clarke Solid Waste Department, who runs the store each year at the recycling center on Hancock Industrial Way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have to say, this is a pretty excellent program. It&#8217;s recycling in the truest sense of the word, and I definitely approve.
