Strapping and stacking!
Jita and Jonathan working the strapping machine.
On Tuesday we used our new strapping machine donated by AviUmkhumbi Cape. Thank you so much for this useful machine. Rudi, who will be assisting us with transporting our cardboard to the recycling vender, donated this great little machine to us to strap the cardboard boxes into bundles. This will save time when loading the cardboard onto the trailer. Of course, in theory this is a brilliant idea, but we did face a few challenges. One of them being, our good old friend the wind! We will endeavour to refine the art of strapping & stacking.
Malaki... you can't hide in there!!!
It was really great to have our volunteer Kim back with her bright yellow washing up gloves and big smile!
Malaki was in charge of sorting the plastic with his team of 4 volunteers from the Du Noon community, they soon sorted the plastic in 16 huge sugar bags. To all our volunteers, great job! Lets hope the wind doesn’t blow on Monday when we go on our Volunteers environmental and cultural outing to Table Mountain.
We collected a total of 1485 kg of recycling.
Cardboard & Paper = 663 kg
Plastic = 479 kg
Glass = 294 kg
Tin = 49 kg
