How to recycle:

Did you know that up to 40% of your household waste can be recycled and reused.

The Recycling at Source Project is being gradually introduced to all residential areas in the Langeberg area.  In the past the cooperation of the community has contributed to our success in the Provincial Cleanest Town Competition during 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the National cleanest town in 2009. By becoming involved with the Recycling at Source Project, you will help us to continue with the great success.

STEP 1 - Put clean recyclable items into a clear bag that is provided to households and additionally available on request at all Solid Waste Management Offices.

STEP 2 - Once full, place the clear bag on your pavement on refuse collection days. Do not place your recycle bag inside the wheelie bin.  

STEP 3 - We will do the rest. On refuse collection day your garbage will be collected, and your bag of recyclables taken to a recycling centre where the contents will be sorted and baled.

WHAT CAN BE RECYCLED:

Paper: Newspapers and magazines, Cardboard. White paper, Mixed paper

Plastic: All plastic (cooldrink/milk bottles, clean plastic shopping bags, plastic containers like household cleaning agents must be cleaned, clean wrapping and packing plastic).

Metal: Aliminium (food containers, cooldrink cans etc.), Steel, Copper

Glass: Tinted glass, Transparent glass

Organic: Left-over food, Peels etc. should not go into your clear recycle bag but can be kept and taken to pig farmers or used as compost.

Composting:

The compost process that is used in Robertson is the controlled Microbial Composting (CMC) process. Materials we use in the compost process provide both carbon and nitrogen and include leaves, straw, plant pruning, lawn cuttings, saw dust and vegetable garden waste. Quality of the end product is guaranteed through simple monitoring methods. The USDA certified organic fertilizer is suitable for the use by the organic farmer.
