Recycling Drive

On the 10th of July 2010, we cleaned the recycling bins at school. This was the first recycling activity for the first term of 2010/2011. This was held on a Saturday, from 9.30 to 11.30 a.m.

This activity was held for about two hours as about 30 Convent interactors cleaned the recycling bins which were extremely filled to the brim. This club service cum fund raising acitivity was a success as many hands make light work. The bins were cleaned in a jiffy. Besides, some of the interactors took extra effort to dig out plastic bottles, paper and plastic cups as well as packet drinks from the rubbish bins around the school compound. As recycling has become our policy, we did not mind stuffing our hands into the dirty bins just to dig out more recycling items. After all, these are the least we can do to save the environment.

The cleaning of the recycling bins is part of the Recycling Campaign of the club. We sorted out the recycling items into its own category, naming from plastics, paper and tins and we sold them. We managed to get RM30 out of it and this will be channeled to the account of our club to be used for future activities.

We hope that the Recycling Drive that our club is running will be a favourable outcome and we encourage more students to make use of these recycling bins in order to benefit the environment.
