Drop-off facilities help citizens practise ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ principles. All it takes is a new mindset - think twice. Separation at source is the key. Many City of Cape Town drop-off facilities accept the following waste items: Garden waste, motor oil, cans and metal, paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, builder’s rubble, e-waste and polystyrene. Specific recyclables accepted vary per site.
