Welcome to the city of cape towns think twice
recycling initiative brought to to by mandla recycling in the green
point, mouille point and three anchor bay areas.
The City of Cape Town is committed to sustainable
waste management, including investing in and developing sustainable
recycling strategies. To this end, the City has developed a recycling
program known as Think Twice. Think Twice is the core message underpinning
the City’s recycling service and is the brand that is linked
to the free door-to-door voluntary recycling project being rolled
out in your that is aimed at reducing waste to landfill.
Approximately 6000 tons of waste is dumped in Cape
Town every day, rapidly filling up the already limited landfill
space that remains. The Think Twice programme is the City’s
response to this growing problem whereby residents and businesses
will be encouraged to implement a two bag system for their solid
waste. People are being asked to think twice about how they dispose
of their waste, and instead of simply dumping it all together in
one black bag, to separate the recyclable material from the non-recyclable
waste within their homes and places of work so that with only a
little effort from everyone we can create a more sustainable system
of waste disposal that will reduce both energy usage and greenhouse
gasses.
Over the past 20 months the City has been running
a project in the area collecting recyclables from over 200 businesses
and complexes in line with the Integrated Waste Management Policy
(IWMP), implementation of the Think Twice programme and planning
for the 2010 World Cup Soccer event,
