Hi Bumps,
don't feel too depressed...i was in the same situation as you when i worked at an international school here too...but what i did was i actually started the recycling program at the school. it's not so hard really because there are plenty of companies that are willing to come to your school to collect paper (because it is $$$ for them). it was real simple....
1) get the OK with the school (costs them nothing)
2) call the recycling company (list is at the link below) and have them a) provide you with bins for collection (or you could you use empty paper containers) b) a time for collection on a weekly basis
3) as long as the waster paper is in an open area or the security know about it, the program will run itself!
HK is slow, I know for sure but after implementing the program, lots of teachers actually tookup the oportunity to include it into their teaching, so there is hope! Hang in there!
