VSB is Partnering with RecycleBC

The Vancouver School Board is set to revolutionize recycling practices in schools across Vancouver! For the first time ever, 55 schools in the Vancouver School Board district will be participating this May in the collection of residential flexible plastics, thanks to this innovative collaboration. 

Tupper’s Nature Club is supporting the initiative.

BRING IN your soft plastics and drop it off in the bins located in the foyer. For every kilogram of plastic collected, the school EARNS $2. Proceeds will go fund various club activities.

Program is on now until Nov. 29, 2024.
