The Glass Recycling Company (TGRC) has unveiled the 2025 Annual Schools Competition, beckoning educational institutions across Gauteng, the Western Cape Peninsula, Eastern Cape and the Greater Durban and Pietermaritzburg areas to a challenge of glass recycling.
Commencing on Saturday, 1 February, this contest not only aims to tackle environmental pollution but also offers over R 440 000 in rewards, distributed through monthly and grand prizes. Schools have the chance to secure additional monthly contributions for each ton of glass they recycle, says TGRC.
Imagine transforming your campus into an eco-haven, where students become green champions, conjuring funds and fostering sustainability. It's time to weave the spell of environmental stewardship into the fabric of education, and TGRC says it is calling all young recyclers to this crusade.
The objective shines bright: amass more glass bottles and jars than any other school in your region. Top recycling schools will claim their crowns in monthly and grand prize ceremonies, showcasing their commitment to the planet, adds the organisation.
To participate secure a free glass bank from TGRC and motivate everyone in your school community to contribute their recyclable glass. Every piece of glass recycled is a step towards a more sustainable future, says TGRC.
TGRC concludes that schools can start participating at any time throughout the year and still be in the race for monthly rewards. So, gather your classmates, empower your community and start building your glass treasure today.
