Waste Reduction Week for Schools
2020 WRW Program for Schools
School is the perfect place to practice waste reduction. Students who learn about waste in their classrooms or run their own composting or recycling programs will be able to teach their families about how to minimize waste. Here are the ways you can participate as a class or a school:
- Promote your school's event during Waste Reduction Week! Your school's waste reduction efforts will be listed on the national website with others from across the country to show that you are making an effort to minimize waste in Canada.
- Download the WRW school resource kit. This resource will help your school plan Waste Reduction Week activities, conduct a waste assessment, and implement a waste reduction action plan.
- Register for the Return-It School Program. Your school could win up to $5,000 based on for its recycling program, based on its creativity and impact!
- Check out the National Waste Reduction Week in Canada website for additional resources on how schools can make a difference in waste reduction!
