  • Empty all liquid and rinse

This is a tremendous fundraiser for our school each year. The proceeds are used to support various activities and groups with the school community.

Due to COVID-19, we will not be having our usual blitzes at the school, but you can still help.  Just bring your items to the local EverGreen depot and enter the school phone number (726-0024) on the self-serve screen, obtain stickers for your bags and pass them in. Request a receipt when prompted, take a picture of it, and send it to kcoffin@stbons.ca for a chance to win one of our $10 Chapters gift cards.  Draws will take place on the 15th of each month.

Happy Recycling!
