R3 day at Riverside Secondary School

Diksha   Riverside Secondary School,  Singapore

In my school we are encouraged to reuse materials and recycle as much as possible. For example, for classroom decoration we maximise the use of recycled materials. We also have designated areas for recycled items, the Recycling Corner, and special trashcans for plastic waste and tetra packs.

Divya Manoj Riverside Secondary School,  Singapore

In Riverside Secondary, we have an annual event to encourage recycling among our students and teachers. We go out to our neighbourhood on this day in our respective classes to collect old newspapers and clothes, which will then be recycled. The money raised from this event will be given to the needy students in our school.

Anjali Riverside Secondary School,   Singapore

In Riverside Secondary School, all the students are strongly encouraged to contribute to recycling. This is to reinforce the importance of recycling.  Our school collect our used textbooks at the end of the year and donate to the Organisations which help in recycling. We have a Green and SaftyAmbassador in each class who help to collect old newspapers from class and contribute forrecycling.

Upcycling projects in our school teach us how to be creative and turn waste into something that we can use.

We are encouraged to do our part in recycling when we have the opportunity to see how our seniors have contributed to this project taken up by our school.

NurAlysya  1/5

Recycling efforts taken up by our school are great to me, as it encourages every one of us to make our environment more conducive for living. I would encourage my family and friends to do contribute for these recycling projects by donating old clothes and old newspapers.

K Shameera 1/5

Recycling definitely help us to have a healthy environment to study and live in school. The litters that see around, can be turned into something that will benefit our community and we are not wasting our natural resources by recycling.

 In Singapore everyone is encouraged to recycle the unwanted materials like Newspapers, old clothes and electronic items and furniture,  by contributing it to local recycling companies.
