Your ongoing support has resulted in Open Sky Recycling being involved

in so many exciting projects here are the highlights!

 

UNISA 'Go Green' PLEDGE

The CEMS Going Green Committee started an initiative with the College of Economic & Management Sciences to have a concerted environmental drive amongst staff and UNISA to electronically submit their pledge to ‘go green'.

To assist with this very big awareness drive Open-Sky sponsored a Open-Sky blue wheelie recycling bin and 3-months free collection to the winner of the UNISA competition.

Congratulations to the winner Nadine

 


OPEN SKY RESOURCES RECOVERED LAST 3 MONTHS –  63 Tonnes (Plastics 34%) 

 

When Open Sky launched in 2008 with the "Single Stream" mixed recycling concept  collected every two weeks it was a unique concept in South Africa.

It has now taken off in the UK ! Oxfordshire Council has become the first to recycle more than 70% of residents' waste using fortnightly bin collections. The research by the Guardian Newspaper reveals that nine of the 10 English councils with the highest recycling rates have a system in which rubbish and recycling are collected on alternate weeks and pick-ups of "commingled recycling" in which tins, cans, plastic and paper can all be put into the same bin for collection was the way forward!
