Jaffer, an elementary school teacher with 15 years of experience, knows how important it is to teach kids at a young age about sustainability and environmental responsibility. Brad Rudover, with over 40 years of experience in the metal recycling industry, is an expert in the field and knows the value of recycling metal. Jessica Alexanderson aka Scuba Jess, a scuba diver in Seattle, WA, is an advocate for ocean conservation and brings awareness of the impact of waste on our oceans and planet.
Together, they are Scrap U Kids, they have set a 30 year goal to eliminate metal from the landfill. They teach kids that all metals have value and that recycling them can even earn them some cash. So don't throw away those old wires, USB chargers, holiday lights, tin foil, or cans - bring them to your local scrap yard instead! They believe in making metal recycling fun and easy for kids while also raising awareness of the importance of sustainability. Their mission is to inspire the next generation to care for the environment and make a positive impact on the planet.
