Hi!

Please recycle and try to reduce waste. Most of the waste in Lebanon goes to landfills or ends up in the sea.

Here are some resources to help you recycle / reduce waste if you are in Lebanon.

Carboard / Paper

Clean paper/cardboard can be picked up by Arc-en-ciel if they are of sufficient quantity.

Cans (Coke, Pepsi, etc.)

You will find many groups that pick up these. However I suggest you crush them, collect them, then give to people that you see scavenging garbage bins. They know where to sell them.

Food

For food donations (for example food remaining after an event), get in touch with FoodBlessed
