GreenPak has advised that the grand total of 820kg of plastic caps collected by the Gozo College San Lawrenz Primary school for the Irricikla ghall-Istrina activity, means that they came first out of all the schools in Malta and Gozo for the number of caps collected per student.

For each kilogramme collected by the school, GreenPak gave a donation to the Community Chest Fund and a representation of students from the GC San Lawrenz Primary went along for the presentation of the cheque.

These caps were collected thanks to the help of the students, staff and volunteers, and the school gave thanks to all those involved in this great achievement.

When the caps were picked up, the students and teachers took the opportunity to test out their Mathematical skills such as estimation of weight, reading of weighing scales and calculation of totals.

Besides contributing to a worthy cause, the school has helped so that 820kg of plastic waste was properly recycled instead of possibly finishing up polluting our environment.

The school has already started collecting caps again for next year so the public is invited to please leave their plastic caps at the school's collection site. With everyone`s help the aim is to reach the 1 ton target within the next 12 months.
