Don’t throw away rubbish into the streets, no matter how small.
Use the green bins that have been strategically placed in the area.
Encourage your children, employees, domestic workers or gardeners to do likewise.
Speak out if you see someone spoiling the neighbourhood. For example, you won’t stop vagrants from rummaging in refuse bins. But you can ask them to tidy up any spillage.
If you have a domestic helper or gardener, ask him/her to keep your property frontage neat, right up to and including verge edges.
Consider joining the NRA ‘Litter Busters’ team – residents make a ‘sweep’ for 30 minutes in their area, once or twice a month to pick up litter. A little bit DOES make a difference. Plastic bags are provided. Contact Hugh Clarke on 021 685 4953. Email: gascoyne@mweb.co.za.
Contact the appropriate department if you have a litter/rubble/refuse problem or concern, details provided on the contacts page.
