OSBRC 5th Annual Challenge Leaderboards
Point scores are recorded as an "estimate" when submitted through the online portal by a participating school. A score will only be recorded as "actual" when Raw Materials Company collects, sorts and processes full drums. At that point, RMC will adjust a school's point scores based on the actual weight.
All final scores will be based on actual weight. For more information, please see our Official Challenge Rules.
OSBRC Pledge
Prize Pool
Estimated PRIZE POOL
$800.00
OSBRC schools have taken a pledge to recycle as many single-use batteries as they consume each year! The goal is to recycle an average of 1.36 kilograms for every student and staff enrolled at each school. 1.36 kilograms is what the average Canadian household accumulates in one year.
Every school that recycles 100% of their OSBRC Pledge will receive an equal share of the OSBRC PLEDGE Prize!
3 schools
Have recycled their share!
We've created five recycling badges to help schools track how close they are to meeting the OSBRC Pledge.
