Clean Up @ South West 2024 took place on Saturday, 28 January 2024 at Westgate. More than 50 community recycling points were set up across the district to encourage residents to donate their recyclables such as clothes, paper and newspaper in exchange for groceries, as part of Clean Up @ South West 2024.

To raise awareness of the importance of food security, sustainability and nutritional health among students, the CDC launched a set of activity booklets in partnership with Life3 Biotech Pte Ltd, as part of GROW @ South West.

The booklets were specially curated for primary and secondary school students and cover key messages on reducing food waste, eating healthy, maintaining good hygiene, practicing the 3Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle and reducing our carbon footprints.
