Pikitup is piloting a refuse separation project for us residents
to help reduce landfill and increase recycling.
As they put it, "Pikitup is launching its pilot recycling project
in some of the north-western suburbs and informal settlements
serviced by the Waterval Depot. This project's primary objective
entails separating recyclables at home. It is being implemented in
partnership with Mondi Recycling. This is a six- to eight-month
pilot project that will herald a whole new way of thinking and
lifestyle changes to those households and businesses serviced by
the Waterval Depot. Johannesburg's landfill sites are experiencing
strain with the amount of refuse generated by the city's citizens.
By separating the recyclables at the source - your home - you will
not only be extending the lifespan of our landfill sites but you
will be contributing directly to saving our environment."
