TEAMS from the Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit of eThekwini Municipality collected unwanted electronic appliances and other household items on The Bluff on May 8.

The e-waste recycling programme used Bluff Showgrounds as the drop-off point where residents had an opportunity to drop off their items for safe disposal.

This programme aims to simplify the disposal process for large household items, such as furniture, appliances, mattresses and lawn equipment, which often pose logistical challenges for traditional waste removal services.

Encouraging residents to bring their bulk waste to designated drop-off points for recycling, the initiative has gained significant traction since its inception.

Illegal dumping has been a persistent issue across eThekwini, with many residents disposing of bulk items along residential roads and in open spaces instead of using proper waste disposal channels.
