School Programme
Schools are paired with a local waste collector who collects and buys back the recycling. This creates a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship between the school and the waste entrepreneur. These collections are subsidised by the project. Healthy snacks and treats are offered as an incentive to the learners who collect the most recycling at substrate specific booster days.
Each school competes against each other to collect the most recyclables. The school that wins annually receives money for much-needed infrastructural upgrades. Trash4Treats is an educational campaign that encourages school children and the surrounding communities to bring recyclable waste to school. Trash4Treats recycling project announces winners of winning schools.
Trash4Treats, in partnership with MetPac-SA, the Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) that represents the metal packaging recycling industry in South Africa, has announced the names of the six Western Cape schools who received their part of the R100 000 cash prize for participating in the exciting schools recycling programme that was launched in 2019.
