A REGIONAL clean-up campaign of a different kind is in full swing \u2013 for the second year. <\/p>\n
Kouga residents once again have the opportunity to get rid of their unwanted items and goods they have at home that cannot be put out for standard refuse collection.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe project dubbed \u2018Coca-Maak Skoon\u2019 \u2013 which combines the isiXhosa and Afrikaans words for cleaning up \u2013 forms part of the ongoing Keep Kouga Clean Campaign. <\/p>\n
It kicked\u2013off on January 17, and will come to an end on January 28,\u201d said Community Services Portfolio Councillor, Daniel Benson. <\/p>\n
This follows the very successful inaugural Coca-Maak Skoon initiative at the end of 2020.<\/p>\n
According to Benson, items and goods, including electronic waste and even old furniture, can be donated to the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only things that are excluded are food \u2013 as we do not want to attract scavengers \u2013 as well as garden refuse and builders\u2019 rubble,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cOld food should be put out in wheelie bins on the days usually reserved for refuse collection, while all garden refuse and builders\u2019 rubble must be taken to skip bins that will be placed at central areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge that residents only take out materials on the day advertised for collection in their area. Once the truck has moved away from a specific area, do not put anything on the pavement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benson said the campaign started off in the Gamtoos Valley and St Francis Bay on Monday, January 17. This will be followed by Jeffreys Bay and Humansdorp from today, January 20 to January 28. <\/p>\n

the pavement for normal waste collection the following week.\u201d<\/p>\n Alternatively, residents can send an email to Bennie Botha at bbotha@kouga.gov.za for collection. <\/p>\n \u2013 ISSUED: KOUGA
