Residents are encouraged to declutter and donate
MIDRAND – Donors stand a chance of winning one of 10 R1000 Mall of Africa vouchers.
Gauteng residents have been invited to join Waterfall’s new Clean-Up Green-Up initiative, launched on September 1.
The campaign offers community members the opportunity to do some spring cleaning by donating the things they no longer need, to those who do. Donors are encouraged to declutter their closets and recycle their e-waste responsibly.
The campaign will run until September 19.
Michael Clampett, asset and property management executive at Attacq, said in the past year, it became imperative for all to find new ways to take back control of their lives. “Establishing order, redefining our spaces, and cleaning up the clutter are some of the most effective strategies to quickly get life back on track,” he added.
A symbolic wash line has been installed at Waterfall Wilds where community members can pass by and either drop off or hang up
their donations.
Donors also stand the chance of winning one of 10, R1 000 Mall of Africa vouchers by taking a picture at the Instagram frame at Waterfall Wilds, posting it using the #WaterfallCares hashtag and emailing it to info@waterfall.co.za
Willie Vos, chief executive officer for Waterfall Management Company added that this initiative, beyond the giving, helped reduce waste too.
Vos said when clothes were reused and passed on instead of thrown away, fewer new clothes needed to be made and less waste was sent
to landfills. “Not only is this people and planet friendly, but it might also be your shirt or jacket that boosts the confidence of someone interviewing for their first job or helps to keep them warm on a cold night,” he said.
In the two-day Green-Up part of this campaign, Waterfall has partnered with RecycleX – one of South Africa’s largest suppliers of reuse and recycling services for electrical and electronic end-of-life products.
RecycleX will be manning two drop-off points on September 17 and 18, from 09:00 until 16:00 – one outside Mall of Africa and the other in the car park of Polofields Crossing – ready to accept all e-waste.
