Due to the huge support shown by the Lonehill Residents towards the Mama She's recycling collections, Mama She's are able to reduce the collection fee from R45 to R25 per household per month.  

Residents are requested to put all of their recyclables directly into blue bags, and to place these bags outside on a Thursday morning.  Mama She’s Waste Recyclers will collect the blue bags, which are taken to the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) where their contents are separated and baled.

 

*Please note that all of the recyclables can be put together in the same blue bag, and all packaging material for food and beverages needs to be rinse*

The service includes:

• Once off initiation/administration fee of R100
• Collection fee of R 25.00 per month. 
• Bags are included in the collection fee (a limit of 10 bags per month are provided). Mama She's deliver 10 blue bags to each resident on the first collection day and in the first/second week of every month thereafter. Residents may use any refuse bags at their disposal to collect their recyclables for the first collection.
• The collection day is a Thursday in Lonehill. 

 

According to Pikitup they collect an average of 107 tonnes of refuse from Lonehill and Magaliessig every week. This refuse is disposed of at landfill. Our hope is that together we can increase the tonnage of recyclables collected from Lonehill and therefore decrease the amount of refuse being sent to landfill.

Help us help our Environment by recycling your domestic "waste".

 

Did you know?

Pikitup services the entire 1 625km² that is Johannesburg, collecting and disposing of 1,4 million tons of domestic waste generated by the city's 3,2 million citizens every year (http://www.joburg.org.za/content/view/725/66/).

Recycling...

Conserves our irreplaceable natural resources.  Prevents the waste of potentially useful materials.  Avoids the environmentally damaging process of mining or harvesting new virgin materials.  Creates permanent employment both through collections as well as through sorting of waste material.  Reduces negative health, safety and environmental impacts resulting from waste disposal at landfill sites (methane is 21 times more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide).
