KOUGA schools have been invited to join a new recycling initiative.
Kouga Municipality and its official recycling partner, Extreme Recycling, have started distributing box bins to schools for use in classrooms.
“The idea is that each classroom will have a box bin in which the children and teachers can deposit waste paper for recycling,” said Kouga Community Services Portfolio Councillor Daniel Benson.
“Once the bins are full, the school can contact Extreme Recycling to collect the paper.”
He said the first 20 bins were donated to Hankey Primary last week.
“We would like to invite schools who are interested in coming on board, to contact the municipality, so that we can arrange with Extreme Recycling to deliver bin boxes to them,” Benson said.
Benson said the aim of the project was to nurture a culture of recycling among Kouga’s youngest residents.
