Recycle milk cartons too

Mossel Bay residents can now recycle milk containers too. Although this item was previously excluded from the list of items that can be recycled, an agreement has been reached with Nampak for milk containers to be recycled as well.
The Municipality again appeals to Mossel Bay residents to support its waste recycling initiatives, both from a point of view of caring for the environment for future generations, and to ease the pressure on existing landfill areas and refuse transfer stations.
According to the Municipality the following items can be recycled:
Photostat paper; laser print paper; computer paper; all writing paper, letterheads and envelopes (regardless of colour); newspapers, magazines, books and pamphlets; all cardboard boxes and packaging material; cardboard displays; clean wrapping and packaging plastic; clean plastic shopping bags; plastic as well as cool drink and milk bottles; all beverage and canned fruit cans; glass bottles and jars (all containers to be rinsed).
The following are NOT suitable for recycling:
Any wet, smelly or soiled materials; diapers; carbons; chemically treated facsimile or heat sensitive paper; ice cream sweet, biscuit and chips wrapping and packets; used paper towels and paper serviettes; plastic-coated paper; wax paper; tinfoil; cling wrap; polystyrene food containers; cellophane; window glass; light bulbs; neon tubes, porcelain and pottery.
Enquiries can be addressed to the Waste and Pollution Section of the Municipality at telephone (044) 606-5143 during office hours, or to the recycling contractor, Elmarie at (044) 695-4918 or 0836170017. •
