Abstract: On 11 May 2024, a service-learning program on waste recycling literacy was held at a suburban primary school in Sabak Bernam, Malaysia, involving 55 pupils and 32 university students. The program featured an innovative card game for teaching waste sorting and recycling, which participants found informative and exciting. Additionally, an upcycling activity was included, deemed beneficial by the students. Integrating recycling literacy into school curricula can foster environmentally responsible behavior and support long-term sustainability goals.
