The 2024–2025 school year marked another strong year for Encorp’s Recycling Heroes in School program, with 95 schools actively participating by year-end. The program continues to promote environmental education by helping students learn the value of recycling, all while raising funds through the collection of deposit-bearing beverage containers. Thanks to ongoing collaboration with their local redemption centres (RCs), participating schools collected more than 900,000 containers. Our top 5 performing schools this year were:
- Académie Notre Dame
(partner RC: Billy’s Bottle Exchange, Dalhousie, NB) - Janeville Elementary School
(partner RC: Atlantic Bottle Exchange Centre, Bathurst, NB) - École Camille-Vautour
(partner RC: Saint-Antoine Bottle Exchange, St. Antoine, NB) - Deer Island Community School
(partner RC: Charlotte County Can & Bottle, St. George, NB) - École Léandre-LeGresley
(partner RC: Recyclage Caraquet, Caraquet, NB)
Recruitment will resume this fall. If your RC works with a school that hasn’t yet joined the program, we encourage you to spread the word and invite them to sign up. Participation is free, and the sign-up form is available on our website at encorpatl.ca/recycle.
