From there, he journeyed to Dennegeur Primary School in Strandfontein, continuing his mission with the younger learners from 09:00 to 10:00. </p><p> </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/DSC_8987.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:949px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>The UWM Directorate, in collaboration with the Western Cape Department of Local Government and the Community Development Workers Programme (CDWP), joined hands with the community, to launch the Clean Up and Recycle Project with a clean-up of a dumping hotspot in the area. </p><p> </p><p>The Clean Up and Recycle project aims to raise awareness about recycling and City drop-off sites through community workshops.

This initiative saw students from various schools in Langa and Khayelitsha visiting the facility to gain insights into the importance of responsible waste disposal and recycling, and to hopefully be inspired to recycle. </p><p>'Global Recycling Day serves as a poignant reminder of the crucial role each individual plays in preserving our planet for future generations. Through these initiatives, the City of Cape Town aims to inspire a collective commitment to sustainably change the culture of waste among our citizens. </p><p>'Residents are encouraged to recycle where possible. The City has various drop-off facilities, which accept recyclables. Please visit the City's website to find a drop-off facility nearest to you,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Waste Management, Alderman Grant Twigg. <br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>End</strong><br></p><p><br></p></div>2024-03-17T22:00:00ZGP0|#1d539e44-7c8c-4646-887d-386dc1d95d70;L0|#01d539e44-7c8c-4646-887d-386dc1d95d70|City news;GTSet|#62efe227-07aa-45e7-944c-ceebacca891dGP0|#8734a1c1-e63b-41d0-a172-cb70cf65694a;L0|#08734a1c1-e63b-41d0-a172-cb70cf65694a|waste;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb;GPP|#68b084a3-f238-4e33-8c08-97910537f68d;GPP|#ae19c2bf-06c6-40b2-9faa-4ba4f85f4bed;GPP|#488a252c-b852-4f59-b559-f191cb367380;GP0|#3bfc38ae-5d8f-4c08-b634-76e27ca72db3;L0|#03bfc38ae-5d8f-4c08-b634-76e27ca72db3|drop off;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb10
