GEORGE NEWS - A household composting project is underway and George Municipality invites residents to participate in the initiative. Those who are interested and who meet the criteria set out below are invited to apply to be added on the database.
The aim of the project is to turn household waste into compost.
Approximately 30% of all household waste being disposed of at a landfill site consists of organic waste that could be diverted from the landfill by means of household composting. Permanent residents in the George municipal area, specifically George, are invited to apply for participation in the project.
Residents who will be chosen for the project will be provided with a composting container/bin. Those living in a housing complex are also encouraged to apply.
Minimum criteria
- Must reside permanently in the George municipal area for the project (proof of address must be submitted).
- Must generate kitchen waste, such as raw vegetable and fruit waste.
