Run a school e-waste gincana

Run a school e-waste gincana

Reciclotech takes collection into schools and streets: gincanas for electronic drop-off, community caravanas, and talks on environmental education. A class that competes to fill a PEV is practising reverse logistics, not sitting through a slide deck.

What you can do

• Ask your school or regional administration to host a Reciclotech gincana; the pattern is described on Programando o Futuro: Reciclotech
• Pair the contest with a visit to a nearby PEV so students know where the box lives after the event
• Invite a Reciclotech talk or caravana into a community space, then keep a standing drop-off rather than a one-day pile
• Teachers: use the gincana as a replicable template (teams, weighed haul, repair story), not as a dated fixture on this page

How it works

The executor lists palestras, caravanas in communities, and gincanas for electronics drop-off as standing education actions. No public calendar of the next school contest was on the pages, so treat this as a pattern to request, not as a ticketed date. Sema-DF coverage of the Abree agreement also mentions school gincanas alongside drive-thru days.

Why it matters

A school that weighs its leftover phones together learns that waste is a team sport. The next PEV in that RA is easier to keep full.
