Community Recycling Project
March 27, 2022
Dear Brothers/Sisters,
The IANS is launching its first recycling project for Ramadan to collect funds for the local community and those in need. With the help of this project, we hope to bring awareness to the local community about the importance and spirit of Ramadan as well as the environment. In the month of Ramadan, the reward for our hasanaat (good deeds) is far greater than any other month in the year. Muslims around the world take this blessed month as an opportunity to earn good deeds by doing charitable work and give alms to those in need. As you know, Ramadan is a time when charity is collected the most around the world. This small act of recycling will contribute significantly to the community and will go a long way in enlightening people on the values of Ramadan. This project will involve participants of all ages — adults and children alike!
To contribute to this kind act, please read the following:
To register, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/aPcnLxoS5fxKXtdB8
For more information on the Ramadan recycling project, please see the attached poster.
For more information on what products are eligible for recycling refunds, see the attached infographic.
All recycling will be collected once a week on Fridays after jumma prayer and Saturdays after asr prayer. There will be volunteers present to collect recyclables at the masjid for those timings. Please make sure all recyclables do not have any caps or straws and are not left unattended.
If you have any questions, feel free to email at recycle@islamnovascotia.ca
