๐Ÿ”ฅ Active Clean-up Quests

Lets Recycle !!

Lets Recycle !!

Description Description Start today and collect until Jan 15th! Collection Day every Sunday for the next 4 weeks at 11 am at Samadhan Hub at Khushboo Chowk, Block D, Sector 26A, Gurugram, Haryana 122002. ๐ŸŽฏ The Challenge: For four weeks, we challenge you to stop throwing away your recyclables (plastic, glass, and metal) and instead, diligently segregate and collect them. This is more than just a task; it's a simple, actionable way to become more aware of the volume and type of waste we create and to ensure it doesn't end up needlessly in a landfill. โ™ป๏ธ How to Participate: Segregate: Set aside a separate bin or bag for your clean, dry recyclables. Clean: You must wash your plastic, glass, and metal containers. Remove all food waste before storing it. This step is crucial for the recycling process! Collect: Keep all your clean recyclables every week and bring them on Sunday Dispose (Delhi NCR): If you are in Delhi NCR, join us on the 4 Sundays to take your collected waste to a designated collection centre. Stay tuned for the exact location update! ๐Ÿค The Collaboration Twist: We're looking for community champions! Can you convince your neighbours to join the challenge too? Upload your updates with a team hashtag like mine could be #teamVAll The person who convinces the most neighbours to segregate their waste and brings their collected recycling with them will receive something special from the VAll team! Mark your updates and weigh-ins with your tag so we know the winner at the end. You join this challenge with me, invite more and then your weigh-in will happen as a group. You can create your own quest too if you like, on VAll similar to this one with #collab-to-green. Let's see how much positive change we can create in just one month. Join the movement and let's recycle!
