The donation drive will run from November 14 to 28, providing Singaporeans with an opportunity to give their used textbooks a second life. FairPrice Xtra stores across the island will accept donations during this period, making it convenient for contributors to participate in the scheme.
The annual initiative aims to promote sustainability and reduce textbook waste by encouraging the reuse of educational materials. By donating pre-loved textbooks, contributors can help make learning resources more accessible and affordable for students in need.
Members of the public interested in participating can visit any of the eight participating FairPrice Xtra locations. The drive represents part of broader efforts by the retail cooperative to support community sustainability initiatives and reduce environmental impact through circular economy practices.
