REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE

There are so many good reasons why you should recycle; but here are 5:

  1. Recycling conserves our valuable natural resources.
  2. Recycling saves energy.
  3. Recycling saves clean air and clean water.
  4. Recycling saves landfill space which is so limited in CT.
  5. Recycling saves money and creates jobs.

We would like to ask you to join our Community Recycling Project.

There are currently 2 groups that are active in our area:

Mr Recycle
Contact: Call Martin on 079 138 9262 or email mrrecycle@gmail.com
Procedure: Place glass, tins, plastics, polystyrene meat trays and paper in black bags; do not separate; place bags on pavement outside your home by 7am. Mr Recycle collects up to 3 such bags a week on a designated day. You will be informed of the day once you register and pay. No organic waste (that can go into your worm bin or compost heap), no cling wrap, no wet cardboard/paper.
Cost: Monthly fee is R80; or R300 for 6 months (once weekly collection) or Annual Fee is R500 (R10/week).

Abundance Recycling
Contact: Frank on 021 531 5888 or email abundance@telkomsa.net
Cost: R70 per month for one bag per week
Procedure: Similar to that of Mr Recycle.

Both of the above small companies are committed to ensuring the ongoing viability of recycling in our area but are totally reliant on sufficient support from the community. It is critical that they continue this service. OH Watch really wants our neighbourhood to show the way. Please recycle and encourage your neighbours to do the same. Our neighbourhood is in your hands.
