In a display of community spirit and environmental stewardship, Kouga Municipality is gearing up for its annual clean-up campaign for the fourth consecutive year, to fostering a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable environment.
Residents of Kouga are invited to declutter their homes by disposing of unwanted items that cannot be accommodated by standard refuse collections.
Known as “Coca-Maak Skoon”, incorporating the isiXhosa and Afrikaans words for cleaning up, this project is an integral part of the ongoing Keep Kouga Clean campaign, and is set to run from December 4 to 8.
This year a notable change will take place, as the project is set to run simultaneously across all towns in the region.
Building on the success of previous initiatives since 2020, residents are encouraged to part with items ranging from electronic waste to old furniture. Exclusions are limited to food items, garden refuse and builders’ rubble.
Food items should be disposed of in wheelie bins on regular refuse collection days, while garden refuse and builders’ rubble must be taken to designated landfill sites.
Bornman emphasised the importance of adhering to the advertised collection days in each area, and advises against placing items on the pavement once the collection truck has moved on from a specific location.
“The collective effort of Kouga residents is crucial in ensuring the success of this endeavour to maintain a clean and thriving community,” he said. “Let us work together to create a cleaner, healthier Kouga for all.”
