KOLO 8 News featured Davidson Academy students for their leadership in addressing electronic waste through a campus-wide recycling effort. The segment showcased how students are applying their passion for sustainability to real-world challenges.
Led by the school’s environmental club, GECKO, this year’s e-waste drive encouraged classmates and staff to donate unused devices — ranging from small gadgets to larger electronics. The initiative led to a notable increase in participation compared to previous years, reflecting a growing awareness within the school community.
A local recycling partner collected the donated items to ensure that valuable materials are recovered and hazardous components are handled responsibly. Students shared that efforts like this promote healthier ecosystems and help reduce the long-term impact of discarded technology.
The feature also highlighted the club’s broader goals, including expanding the project beyond campus and inviting more community collaboration in future drives.
The Academy is proud of its students for taking initiative, elevating environmental stewardship, and earning recognition for their meaningful work.
