Each student can register “GREEN$” membership numbers of up to three family members to compete for the “Best Participating Family Award”.

Students and/or family members can use the smart recycling facilities (smart recycling bins and smart scales) of the “GREEN@COMMUNITY” community recycling network (including Recycling Stations, Recycling Stores and Recycling Spots), as well as smart recycling bins and smart food waste recycling bins to practice clean recycling. Upon recycling, simply present the “GREEN$” mobile app or “GREEN$” physical membership card to record the visit time and recyclables quantity. (Note: If participants recycle regulated electrical equipment at GREEN@COMMUNITY or food waste at food waste smart bins, only recycling days will be counted in these awards but not the corresponding recycling quantity.)
