Zero Waste Program

SEGREGATION & RESOURCE CARE SYSTEMS

Last year, our AWS Resource Care Committee introduced a Zero Waste Program to the community. First, our awesome team initiated an education drive to build environmental awareness of the current nature of Climate Change. Next we set up classroom segregation bins and built a centralised Segregation Station within the school campus where students drop off their segregated resources on a daily basis. Our intention for these daily deliveries is meant to challenge each class to learn to hold themselves and each other accountable by becoming more aware of the waste versus resources that they produce. After taking these steps and doing a fair bit of troubleshooting, the RC Committee then built a Resource Care Facility in the school parking lot. This facility is designed to take in and further segregate all the resources, not only from within the school, but also from the households of every AWS family. We then have collectors come pick up and sometimes purchase all of our resources for recycling. It’s a truly remarkable program for our school community and the first of it’s kind in any of the subdivisions here in Sta Rosa City, Laguna!
