You can collect at Christmas too The Festive Season is one of the best times of the year for environmental enthusiasts. With all the festivities and celebrations, there are plenty of opportunities to collect, recycle and reuse waste that would otherwise end up in landfill sites. The effects of global warming are becoming more and more prevalent worldwide, and Africa is no exception. However, fighting global warming is something that we can all do. Through recycling and reusing waste material, we can effectively reduce the amount of gasses that contribute to global warming. This Christmas, Collect-a-Can would like to again encourage South Africans at large to become a part of the solution. There are many creative ways to manage your waste particularly over the Festive Season, and even small recycling efforts go a long way. Making use of recyclable materials such as tins will reduce waste and benefit the environment. Here are some good reasons why you should use cans this Christmas:
Used cold drink cans can also be used to create beautiful artwork to decorate Christmas trees. You can also use the larger food cans for planting indigenous plants and give them as great organic Christmas presents. Best of all, this is the best time for learners to start collecting cans in anticipation of the Schools Competition next year and get off to a great start! Recycling and using recyclable and reusable materials not only benefit the environment but can benefit your pocket too. By taking your used cans to Collect-a-Can, you will earn some extra cash which you can use to go on holiday! Other recyclable material such as glass, paper and plastic can also be taken to the respective recycling companies.
