Recycling over the past few weeks has been running smoothly, with everyone getting familiar with working alongside each other and the new members starting to get the hang of the way things work.
This semester, the majority of the members in our group were new to this service and so with our debriefing secession on the first service block, we were given a chance to properly explain how things work.
For this year of Recycling, I was also able to hold a Student Leader position providing me with more responsibilities while running this service. One instance that comes to mind is the day when I had to run the group myself. Being given instructions on what to do that day, I believe I was able to plan and initiate activities with the other members in the group since that was the first day when we begun the process of collecting waste to be recycled.
As I was the only student leader on that day, I also got to know many of the new members and work collaboratively alongside them. I would count that day as a very important one since I was able to get a taste of what its like to lead.
One of the issues our group is currently focusing on is to provide Recycling boxes for all of the classrooms since there have been a few reports of a few classrooms not having them. And so we've been able to find boxes which could be used as a Recycling box and so every week normally at the beginning or towards the end, we spend time decorating those boxes before sending them off for Recycling.
We were also able to make our first trip of this semester to the Recycling center where we normally give all our waste and in exchange we receive a little money.
Overall, its been going great so far. Having a smaller group makes doing the work much more efficient and to some degree, faster.
Below are a few pictures taken while Recycling:
