Update
GEORGE NEWS - The George Municipality waste reduction programme kicked off on 1 February and is currently been rolled out to neighbourhoods across the municipal area. Two green bags (garden and kitchen waste) and two blue bags (recyclables) will be dropped off to households on their usual refuse removal days, starting the week of 4-8 February 2019.
Collection of green and blue bags will start on Monday 11 February 2019 and will be collected on the same day as black bag refuse removal, but by different trucks – before or after the black bag collection and may be hours apart. Each collected full blue or green bag will be replaced with another of the same colour on the same day.
Households or businesses that are actively recycling and require additional green or blue bags, can collect from the Interwaste premises at 10 Extension Road, Pacaltsdorp Industrial Area.
If you have not received your initial, two-of-each bags, please report to Interwaste 044 878 0688.

*Die George Munisipaliteit se afvalverminderingsprogram het 1 Februarie afgeskop en word tans na woongebiede regoor die munisipale gebied uitgerol. Twee groen sakke (tuin en kombuisafval) en twee blou sakke (herwinbare items) sal by huishousings op die gewone vuilgoedopteldae gedurende die week van 4-8 Februarie 2019 afgelaai word.
Groen en blou sakke sal vanaf Maandag 11 Februarie 2019 opgetel word en sal op dieselfde dag as die optel van swart sakke geskied, maar deur verskillende trokke – voor of ná swartsakke opgetel word en kan ‘n paar ure apart geskied. Elke blou of groen sak wat opgetel word sal op dieselfde dag met die oorstemmende kleur vervang word. Huishoudings of besighede wat aktief herwin en addisioneele groen of blou sakke benodig, kan dit afhaal by Interwaste se perseël by 10 Extension-pad, Pacaltsdorp Industria.
Indien u nie u eerste twee-van-elk sakke ontvang het nie, rapporteer dit asseblief aan Interwaste by 044 878 0688.
