Partners in Project Green’s Recycling Collection Drive is an annual employee engagement campaign that supports organizations to collect clothing, household textiles, and electronics to divert waste from landfill and engage employees about sustainability.
Recycling Collection Drive 2024
The 2024 campaign was held between October 14-27 during Waste Reduction Week and Circular Economy Month in Canada! Partners in Project Green organized a Recycling Collection Drive to re-use and recycle clothing and textile waste with Diabetes Canada and electronic waste with Electronic Recycling Association. We also piloted book, CD, and DVD collections in partnership with Second Life Books. Organizations that registered for the Recycling Collection Drive helped divert waste from landfills and engaged their employees around sustainability.
Congratulations to 2024 participants who collected a total of 15,538lbs (7,039kg) of clothing and household textiles, 10,139lbs (4,593kg) of electronic waste, and 100lbs (45.3kg) of books!
