Report on 'Trash for Cash' Project

On the 8th of September, the Leo club of SMK Assunta has held a mini project called recycling project. One teacher and 15 students were involved in the project. Our teacher advisors, Puan Betty, was there with us. The activity was Held in Bandar Kinrara.

The reason for us to held this project is to help the ‘Lovely Disabled Home' to collect recyclable items. Early in the morning, we were asked to gather at school at 7:00am.

We had sandwiches for breakfast made by Puan Betty. At around 7:30 am., Kendra split us into 4 different groups. Each group sat on different cars. We reach the venue of a parking lot oppsite the Syeksen 4 school at Bandar Kinrara at 8.10.

The owner of the Lovely Disabled home was there with us. He came and gave us instruction on the things we had to do. We were given brochure to be place in each houses mailbox. We were asked to go house by house to ask for recyclable items. Some items are not able to recycle were not taken taken.
After that, we were separated into 3 different groups. Each group will have a teacher or a Lion Advisor. Each group is given a place to ask for recyclable item and also give 3 trolleys. Two groups were given at Bandar Kinrara 4, while one group was given at Bandar Kinrara 5.
The activity started at 9.30am. While we were collecting the recycle items, a truck will be following us to collect the items when the trolley is almost full. The activity almost lasted for two hours.
Later then we were gathered back at the parking lot. Items that were collected were separated according to their size. Then, the things that were separated will be measured in weight. After things were settled, we had refreshments. At 12.15pm, the activity was dismissed and everyone went home.
