0 The Youth and 3Rs program is an innovative stewardship initiative of Sustainable Waste Recycling Community of Nigeria (SWRC Nigeria). The program focus is on the improvement of Nigeria’s recycling rate among the Nigerian Youths. This program is done in partnership with Educational institutions in Nigeria. The goal of the program is knowledge transfer of the 3Rs to the Nigerian youth through Member Schools. The intended outcomes include the following:
- Application of knowledge gained in the 3Rs in their everyday lives
- Share knowledge gained with their families.
- Option to set up a recycling club which will be recognized by Lagos state through Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA)
To usher in the
