We're going to chuck this over here, because Waste Plan is going to make sure this plastic is recycled. This is not recyclable. So we have to watch out for these kinds of things. They're not recyclable. Again, ask the retailers that the package it in a way that we can recycle. The other thing - cans. Cans we can simply squash and easy to recycle. So, not too grand, but we're going to recycle in the recycle bin. Again, glass bottles. Better if we can reuse them. Some people reuse bottles which is far more better and efficient for the environment but mostly now we try and recycle glass, and again instead of putting it in.. you can see the volume it would take up in this bin, shouldn't go into the bin, shouldn't go to landfill, should be recycled. So we're going to put that in the recycling bin. Ray, another, and there we go. We're sorted. There's nothing left in this bin. Nothing's going to landfill. \"\u003cbr/\u003e21.

Various consumer drops off empty bottles at glass recycling depot\u003cbr/\u003eAfrica's southernmost city, Cape Town, is facing a crisis over what to do with the large amounts of waste it's producing.\u003cbr/\u003eEnvironmentalists now want local people to realise that recycling rubbish can no longer the sole responsibility of the municipality.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Cape Town, 2.6 million tons of solid waste is generated each year.\u003cbr/\u003eOf this, only about 14% is recycled.\u003cbr/\u003eCape Town is facing a waste crisis with its landfill sites nearing maximum capacity.\u003cbr/\u003eNicholas Farmer sorts through rubbish at the landfill for firms that have recycling contracts with the municipality. \u003cbr/\u003eThey separate a relatively small amount of waste at this landfill site at Coastal Park, less than 1% of the total waste here.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Athlone Refuse Transfer Station is one of 20 sorting stations in Cape Town.\u003cbr/\u003eWaste collected by the municipality in this area is brought here to be weighed and compacted.\u003cbr/\u003eShift Supervisor Dennis Nuthall says the amount of waste processed at the Athlone Station has doubled over the last ten years.\u003cbr/\u003eFrom the transfer stations, the compacted waste is taken to one of Cape Town's landfill sites.\u003cbr/\u003eThree of the city's 6 landfill sites closed over the last two years as they were full to capacity.\u003cbr/\u003eThe remaining three will be full to maximum capacity within three to five years.\u003cbr/\u003eCoastal Park is one of the three remaining landfill sites in and around Cape Town.\u003cbr/\u003eSome companies collect waste like steel, cans and paper before it reaches the landfills, making up the majority of the city's 14% waste recycling.\u003cbr/\u003eMembers of the public can use one of the municipal drop offs for waste like garden refuse, rubble and used oil.\u003cbr/\u003eNGOs like Footprints have recycling depots, and larger industry offer collection points for waste like glass, paper and cans.\u003cbr/\u003eThe city's Director of Solid Waste Management Rustim Keraan, says Cape Town municipality is now rolling out a pilot split bag project, whereby waste is separated at home.\u003cbr/\u003eWaste separation will facilitate sorting and recycling at the upcoming municipal pilot recycling depots.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, environmentalists Mary Murphy and Ray Chaplin are not content to wait for policy implementation.\u003cbr/\u003eRecently they pushed a wheelie bin 100 kilometres (62 miles)  around the Cape Peninsula.\u003cbr/\u003eThe purpose of the walk has been to raise awareness of the importance of waste minimisation and the landfill crisis. \u003cbr/\u003eMurphy and Chaplin spoke to local people along the route to emphasise that waste minimisation begins with each individual.\u003cbr/\u003eMurphy says 80% of what we usually throw in garbage bins can easily be reused or recycled.\u003cbr/\u003eShe says we need to take better care of our planet, and the onus lies with each individual to reduce, reuse and recycle.\u003cbr/\u003eShe suggests that people separate their waste at home, and drop off recyclable goods at a recycling centre.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
