Useful Info

Recycling of Plastic Crates
Solid waste management and recycling have become very important to the consumer, the legislators and larger corporate companies in recent years.
Why Recycle?
Tackle the Impending Landfill Crisis - “The Environmental Affairs Department has warned many landfills are reaching full capacity.” – James-Brent Styan.
Recycling Guidelines
When you drop a bottle into a recycle bin, it will come back as something new - you know that. But did you know that by recycling you are helping to prevent global warming, create jobs, reduce pollution, and protect wildlife. WTG!
Know How to Identify Your Plastics
Plastic goods are assigned different numbers to grade them for recycling: #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE) for containers, #4 (LDPE) for bags, #7 for mixed plastics such as polycarbonates that are not recyclable. Almost all recycling centres accept plastics #1 #2, 4, 5 and #6.
