Brussels Environment | Waste management at school: Operation Recycle

22 January 2024 Members' News

Do you aspire to be a leading example in waste reduction? Imagine your students becoming sorting champions and your teachers transforming into ambassadors for the cleanest school in Brussels. Brussels Environment has launched a call to primary schools in the Brussels-Capital Region to participate in the Operation Recyclers program. Selected schools will benefit from support over a 3-year period, along with free materials to implement their project. A waste advisor is available to guide them in waste reduction, optimise sorting and maintain cleanliness in the school while integrating this theme into the lessons. With the slogan 'Operation Recycle, Together for Less Waste in School', the aim is to reduce the amount of waste by 75% and to sort 100% of waste.

Schools of the Brussels-Capital Region are invited to join the Operation Recyclers program and take on the challenge by submitting an application by 29 February.
