BC Green Games

While we’re not quite ready to launch BC Green Games, we are delighted that Call2Recycle®, the provincially approved consumer battery collection and recycling program, are challenging schools to register for a used household battery recycling contest. Through participating in this contest, students will learn about caring for the environment and proper waste management.

Contest period: October 19–November 30, 2020

Students will be challenged to collect as many used consumer household batteries as they can to win one of four prizes for their school.

Be inspired by these fantastic BC Green Games past projects:
