Recycling & Waste
KOSRA, amongst other donors supports recycling initiatives.
We recognise that recycling is a critical part of our environmental responsibility. To this end KOSRA provides a monthly fuel allowance to ensure the longevity of the business. Just recently we contributed towards the cost of the forklift to create efficiencies at the depot in Bushman’s Industrial park.
We encourage our community to continue to support KOSRA so we can support initiatives such as this.
Recyclables can be dropped off at the trailer on Tuesday and Thursday from 08h30-11h30 outside BUCO.
Waste Management
In addition to the Court Order obtained in 2016, KOSRA play a pivotal role in the manner in which solid waste in dealt with by Ndlambe municipality, in protection of the environment.
These efforts and interactions centre around the establishment of a new transfer station and the management and disposal of recyclable materials
Many, many meetings have been held and continue to be held with Ndlambe municipality in this regard to address issues, consider alternatives, reduce the impact of environment and ultimately to find solutions.
KOSRA has played an active role in formulating proposals for the management of recyclables, including but not limited to the utilisation of a dedicated facility owned by Ndlambe municipality at Alexandria with the objective that recyclables would be transported to that location for processing.
KOSRA has contributed to the cost of procuring a forklift to be utilised by the empowered organisation that has undertaken to manage and process recyclable materials in the Kenton area.
