More than 630 kg of recyclable materials were collected, including paper, mixed plastics, e-waste, metals, glass, fabrics, cooking oil, etc. By diverting the waste from landfills and reducing the need for manufacturing products from virgin materials more than 2.6 metric tons of greenhouse gas were avoided and reduced.
