Zero to landfill
Residents of the Mowbray and Rosebank communities have come together to improve recycling and contribute towards alleviating poverty. In collaboration with the Community Organisation Resource Centre (CORC), they have come up with an urban farming initiative to support 43 farming hubs in the country. All organic (kitchen and garden) waste is collected and made into compost for farms in the Western Cape. They also collect e-waste (electronic and electrical equipment), batteries, light bulbs and ‘non-recyclable’ plastic which normally ends up in landfills. Their online store offers sustainably grown produce. Stock up on curly kale, celery, leeks, lettuce, parsley, spinach, spring onion, broccoli and red lettuce. Since the focus of Zero-to-Landfill is sustainability and eco-friendliness, utilize bicycles and e-bikes for delivery, reducing their carbon footprint. They deliver in the Mowbray and Rosebank areas and also to local venues, select markets, and partnered local restaurants.
