This was how the project got started five years ago.

The goal of the project is to increase the level of recycling by the residents by increasing environmental awareness. Collection of the accumulated bottles and cans took place once a month from in front of the residents' homes by students of the "Orot Hazoreim" Environmental High School Yeshiva located on the Moshav. Today the residents bring their accumulated cans and bottles to my house where I collect, bag and count them. The recycling company' s truck then picks them up.

Steps in implementing the project consisted of:

1. Setting up a recycling team of
students from the yeshiva.
2. Learning about recycling in order
to increasing environmental awareness of the team.
3. Team meetings in order to work out
objectives and operation methods.
4. Increasing environmental
awareness and explaining the project to the residents of the
moshav.
5. Collection and feedback.
6. Publicizing the collection results
and percentage of participation each month.
