BITOU WASTE | In April, our municipality sent more than 500 tons of waste to Mossel Bay, but only 78 tons went to recycling. This is costing us a huge amount of money, and we can do better.

Every bottle, can, and paper counts—recycling reduces waste, protects the environment, and saves money for our community.

Here’s how YOU can help:

1. Separate recyclables from general waste

2. Encourage neighbours, friends, and businesses to recycle

3. Support local initiatives to reduce waste
