Bukit Batok East Grassroots Organisations, together with COLEX, Town Council and Ngee Ann Polytechnic representatives officially launched the Recycling Initiative for Community & Household (R.I.C.H.) at Bukit Batok East Zone 2 on Sunday 20th March.
Guest of Honour Mdm Halimah Yacob, MP for Jurong GRC and Adviser to Jurong GRC GROs highlighted the importance of recycling and urged BBE residents to sustain these recycling efforts so as to save the environment.
As an enhancement to the highly successful Cash for Trash programme, R.I.C.H. aims to empower our community and households to set their goals on the amount of recyclables they plan to recycle annually.
Supported by Jurong Town Council, R.I.C.H. will take place on every Sunday, from 27 March 2011 to 18 September 2011. To participate in the recycling exercise, residents simply bring their recyclables to the existing Cash for Trash Station located at Block 276 Bukit Batok East Ave 4 on every Sunday, from 7.30am to 12noon. A simple passbook known as the R.I.C.H. card will be issued to the residents so that they can record and keep track on the total amount of recyclables they have brought in for recycling.
To help sustain the recycling efforts, cash prizes and vouchers worth up to S$300 will be awarded to R.I.C.H. participants who have accumulated the highest tonnage of recyclable items during the contest period.
It is important to save our environment.
MAKE RECYCLING YOUR WAY OF LIFE!
