The public is reminded to collect bottle tops and bread tags in separate bags. Drop off is at Debra de Souza’s car only on a Wednesday before 09:15, outside Relton Hall in Pennington. It can also be handed to the recycling depot, which separates milk, juice, cold drink, fabric softener, bottled water, cooking oil and mayonnaise jar lids and takes it to Debra, who is parked outside the main door of the hall.
Did you know that it takes 2000kg of plastic milk or juice bottle lids or 330kg of bread tags, which are sold for recycling, to be able to buy a wheelchair?
The wheelchair is donated to a person in dire need. The tops and tags are sent to Gauteng via Sue Martin, who collects them from Pennington, which she has been doing for about eight years. It keeps the plastic away from our beaches and ultimately out of the beautiful ocean.
Don’t forget, the Mongoose Tea Garden is open every Wednesday from 09:00 to 12:00 at TC Robertson Nature Reserve. The cost is R50 per person. For more information contact 082 6227699.
