The old becomes new

To recycle or not to recycle... sometimes it's just laziness that causes us to waste so much. That said, our weekly rubbish collection service isn't geared to pick up glass, paper and plastic separately to regular household rubbish. Again, that said, I've heard rumours of plans to put such a collection service in place.It currently takes a surprising amount of effort to collect glass and paper in separate containers, pack them into the car and cart them off to a facility that recycles said items.
Interestingly enough, today I happened to hear an advert on the radio for The Glass Recycling Company that specialises in recycling glass. Take a look at their website - they list several places over the country where glass can be dropped off. They even have a mechanism by which you can setup your own Glass Bank!

We're very lucky we have all our rubbish collected...all we need to do is to put bottles, paper & plastic, green and general waste in separate containers and the local council collect once a fortnight, although general household waste is collected weekly.
Mind you we pay for it via our Council Rates which are quite high!
Kerri, look into this company... http://www.resolutionrecycling.co.za/
They operate in Gauteng, and I'm sure they're also in CT. You don't have to seperate your stuff, and they collect it every fortnight.
In Cape Town, these guys collect recycling weekly for R40 a month, I'm just about to give them a call myself.

Very professional and reliable.
I've just come across some guys in Cape Town who'll give you bins for your different products, and will come and pick up whenever you want. Visit them at www.clearer.co.za They've got a great name too: clearer conscience! Roy
