• A-SMYLE Alumni Spearhead Recyleton 2010 in Leskovac 04/27/10
  On Sunday, April 18, RECYLETON 2010 kicked off in Leskovac, in southern Serbia. The event was organized by A-SMYLE alumna Ana Jovanovic '07, and Nikola Jovanovic, '09. A group of about fifty volunteers - including both A-SMYLE alumni from all over Serbia as well as local volunteers and two A-SMYLE finalists - converged in downtown Leskovac to collect electronic waste for recycling. The volunteers eventually collected 3,000kg of electronic waste - more than anyone, including the recycling center, anticipated.
