What services do you provide?

Our 3 main offerings are:

  • Organising green activities like coastal cleanups, either on our own or in collaboration with clients.

  • Educational outreach in the form of workshops, learning trails, and sharing sessions.
  • Sustainability consultation, where we support organisations by implementing sustainable practices and grooming green ambassadors.

Do you charge for your services?

As a social enterprise and a registered business, we believe that the best way for us to maximise impact is to ensure the financial viability of our work. Thus, we charge reasonable fees to cover our costs and ensure the long-term sustainability of our enterprise.

We normally charge separately for each service. However, to make our services accessible to everyone, we have introduced 3 bundle packages to cater to organisations on a tight budget.

What happens after I submit a request for the activities?

We will drop you an email or call within 3 - 5 working days to share more about our work before following up with a customised proposal for your review.

Cleanups - Basic Package (i.e. Toolkit Rental)

Will you provide advice for us on where we can carry out our cleanup so that we will be able to find a decent amount of trash when we are there?

Unfortunately we are unable to provide a specific area for you to clean as the cleanup locations vary depending on tide timings as well as monsoon seasons. However, we do provide a guide as part of the toolkit rental for you to plan your session. 

As a general guide, consider areas including Sembawang Park, Pasir Ris Park and Changi Beach Park during January to June, and East Coast Park during June to September for coastal cleanups. 

For inland cleanups, please consider holding them in the morning where more trash is likely to be found. Refer to this post that serves as a simple guide to inland cleanups. Here are also some tips for you to organise your own cleanup!

Where do I bring the trash after my own cleanup session?

Simply tie up the trash bags and place them in or around the trash bins that you see around the area. These will be collected by the waste management companies to be sent for disposal. Remember to tie up the bags to prevent wildlife from rummaging through the items for food. 

Are the kits suitable for all kinds of cleanup? (Inland/Beach)

To ensure that the toolkits are more suited for the different cleanups, we have an inland cleanup toolkit and a coastal cleanup toolkit.

For the delivery options, are you able to deliver the items to us at our own cleanup venue itself?

Yes! Let us know your potential cleanup location and we can also help to deliver them to you on the day of cleanup for added convenience.

Activities

Where does the trash go after the clean up? How is the trash processed?

Given the expected large amount of trash, we work with waste management companies to collect these trash once we have completed the cleanup. The trash will then be collected and sent for disposal as part of the regular waste management process. As most of the trash items are not in good condition for recycling, items collected are properly disposed through our waste management partners. 

In the event that it rains, what will be the next course of action?

If it is expected to rain before the session, we will update you of the suggested next course of action, including delaying the starting time. 

If it rains heavily during the activity, participants will be asked to take shelter at pre-identified spots. In the unfortunate event of a heavy rain, we will postpone the activity and make arrangements for the next suitable date. 

Is paying you for activities necessary or justifiable when there are alternatives out there that are completely free of charge? 

As a social enterprise, there are manpower and resource costs in conducting coastal cleanups, especially in hard to reach areas where the trash situation is not as ideal. To ensure that we can continue our operations in a sustainable manner, we seek your understanding that we provide our engagements for a fee. 

If my organisation does not meet the minimum requirement of 20 pax, can we still engage you?

Yes! We have in the past been able to work with groups of less than 20 pax subject to their programme and budget. 

Workshops

Why do the participants have to bring some items with them? Do you not provide them?

We encourage participants to bring along items such as fruit peels or used plastics as a way to treat some of these accumulated waste typically found at home. In addition, by using some of these items provided by participants, we demonstrate how simple household items can also be turned into meaningful products.  

In your ecobricks catalogue, it states that the finished ecobricks go towards a social cause. May we check what organisations they go to?

We work with community organisations and schools to pass completed ecobricks stools and tables. While some organisations prefer to keep their completed items within their premises, others are open to passing these items along once they are completed. The final organisations depend on the availability of the stools or items made after each session. 

If my organisation does not meet the minimum requirement of 20 pax, can we still engage you?

Yes! We have in the past been able to work with groups of less than 20 pax subject to their programme and budget.
