A Fresh Approach to Waste Management

As we approach autumn and the rainy season, now is the time to reflect on how we can continue to care for our village, nestled in the heart of a UNESCO-declared Biosphere Reserve. Let’s commit to better waste management practices, ensuring our environment and wildlife thrive through the coming months.

Invest in a Proper Dustbin

One simple step towards improving our surroundings is investing in a proper dustbin. This isn’t just a practical decision—it’s a statement of responsibility for our community and the wildlife we share this space with.

Wildlife and Proper Waste Disposal

Living in an area with baboons and other wildlife requires thoughtful action. Let’s ensure our dustbins are animal-proof this autumn. This small step can significantly reduce human-wildlife conflict and help protect both animals and our village’s health.

Responsible Use of the Waste Drop-Off Area

Our waste drop-off area is a valuable resource, but it’s not meant to be a dumping ground for excess waste. Overloading it causes unsightly conditions and puts unnecessary strain on our municipal services. Additionally, it’s important to remember to use the facility during its designated operating hours to ensure smooth and efficient service. Let’s use it responsibly to maintain a clean, efficient space for everyone.

Why This Matters

Improper waste disposal can harm wildlife, and lead to environmental hazards. It also mars the natural beauty of our village and potentially impacts tourism and local pride.

A Simple Plan for a Cleaner Village

Take full advantage of the weekly waste collection service included in your municipal fees.

This will:

Protect wildlife from harmful exposure to waste.
Preserve the beauty of our village.

Our Shared Commitment

Let’s come together as a community with a shared resolution: to be more mindful of our waste management habits. Small changes, like using the correct bins and utilising the waste collection service, can have a lasting positive impact on our environment.

Make 2025 a Year of Positive Change

Let’s make waste management an opportunity for positive change. Together, we can make 2025 a year of transformation— where our village remains clean, sustainable, and a great place to live for everyone.
