Plastics for School Supplies: Learn the rules for participating

The Alcaldía del Distrito Nacional and the Ministry of Education are hosting the third edition of the 'Plásticos por Útiles Escolares' initiative on Saturday, August 29. The event encourages citizens to exchange plastic bottles for school supplies, with collection efforts scheduled to take place from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

This program serves as a collaborative effort between municipal and national educational authorities to promote recycling while supporting families with necessary academic materials. By incentivizing the collection of plastic waste, the initiative aims to address environmental concerns in the Distrito Nacional while providing tangible benefits to the community ahead of the school year.
