Global Recycling Day is on March 18th, and it is the perfect time to think about how we can protect our environment right here in St. John's.

Recycling isn't just about what we put in the blue bin. It is about recognizing that "waste" is actually a resource. When we recycle properly, we save energy, reduce landfill waste, and protect the natural beauty of NL.

How You Can Help in St. John's

You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference. Here are a few simple ways to get involved:

  • Volunteer for a Clean-up: Join a local group to pick up litter in your Avalon Peninsula neighborhood.
  • Learn the Local Rules: Every city is different! Make sure you know what can and cannot be recycled in St. John's.
  • Reduce and Reuse: Before you recycle, see if an item can be reused or donated to someone in need.

Find a Green Opportunity

There are many organizations across NL looking for volunteers to help with environmental projects. Whether it’s helping at a local depot or joining a community garden, your time makes a huge difference.
