Our Mission
Educating communities about environmental responsibility and the measurable impact of plastic waste on ecosystems and public health.
Placing branded recycling bins at schools and libraries, building lasting recycling structure where communities can take action every year.
EcoBeyond uses the Staples Recycling Program and the Goodwill Partnership to make sure every collected item finds a verified recycling pathway and nothing ends up in landfill.
About Our Work
EcoBeyond places branded collection bins at schools and libraries. Every collected item is routed directly to a verified location with Staples for supplies recycling, Goodwill for supplies in good condition. We also appeared on the LWSD district news.

About the Founder
"I wanted to take real action against plastic waste in my community. Small changes, made by many, create a big impact for our planet."
I'm a student at Tesla STEM High School. Seeing how much single-use plastic and unused school supplies end up in landfills inspired me to create a project that promotes recycling and awareness. Through EcoBeyond, I hope to encourage students and community members to make small changes that create a lasting impact.
