Spring is afoot and is it not about time you start emptying your spare rooms, drawers, garages and store rooms of ALL your unused and unwanted goods? A spring clean could be therapeutic and to be honest if you have been keeping something for longer than 5 years and still have not used it, then the chances are you are probably not going to use it again!
Scary stats indicate that the average South African household is still far off the potential recycling mark of 15-18 kilograms of waste per month (that’s a whopping 180 – 216 kilograms per year lying around your house right now).
If you still have goods which work and are in a relatively good condition you could always place a FREE ad and make some extra bucks using the Junk Mail website. For those of you who have electrical goods that no longer work we good news for you too!
This weekend we encourage you to place all your unwanted electrical goods in packs and bring these items down to Brightwater Commons, where Remade Recycling, have committed their weekend to helping Jo’burgers clean up their recycling act at the Spring Drive Initiative that starts at 1 September and runs to 4 September.The Spring Drive drop-off point will be situated at Entrance 2 off Republic Road in Randburg and will be open between 8 AM – 5 PM.
