Ever wonder what happens to your recycling after it leaves East Shore? Join the Earth and Climate Action Ministry (ECAM) Team for an informative and eye-opening tour of Republic Services, the company that handles East Shore’s recycling.

Before the tour, we encourage you to watch the short recycling video produced by ECAM ⁠ following our previous visit. It’s a great refresher on what can—and cannot—be recycled. Then bring your questions! Together, we can learn how to recycle more effectively and reduce waste.

Let’s turn our commitment to caring for the Earth into informed action. We hope you’ll join us!
