BY die ligbruin huis in Pellsrus, met sy wapperende wit-polkakol rooi en groen vlaggies, staan \u2019n ry kinders met hul boepens-sakke vol herwinbare rommel.<\/p>\n
Selfs kruiwaens en winkeltrollies word ingespan om di\u00e9 waardevolle vrag te karwei. Soms kilometers ver. <\/p>\n
Oorkant die pad loop \u2019n seun soek-soek tussen die bossies, hy buk kort-kort om iets op te tel en in \u2019n groot wit sak te gooi. \u2019n Le\u00eb koeldrankbottel, ingeduikte blikkies en selfs \u2019n paar tydskrifte.<\/p>\n
Dan gaan staan hy in die reeds lang ry.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Opgewekte meisie in wit-en- pienk koei-slaapklere, swartsak oor die skouer, skuif agter hom in. <\/p>\n
N\u00f3g kinders volg.<\/p>\n
Sommige met helder geel en rooi plastieksakke oor die kop teen die broodnodige re\u00ebn wat neersif. <\/p>\n
Hulle wag almal geduldig, want hier, by die JBay Recycling Project, kry elke kind \u2019n beurt. <\/p>\n
Of jy nou voor of heel agter in die ry staan.<\/p>\n
\n Herwinningsprojek: Hoe werk dit<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Binne di\u00e9 \u201cgroen\u201d Rotari\u00ebr-projek \u2013 wat ten doel het om die plaaslike kinders te help besef daar is iets in hul omgewing waarmee hulle self hul lewensomstandighede kan verbeter \u2013 bring Pellsrus se kinders elke Maandag herwinbare rommel na die Sunshine-dienssentrum.<\/p>\n
Kelly Tommelein staan voor in die ry wat elke minuut langer word \u2013 gereed om haar twee swartsakke en drie kleiner plastieksakke vol rommel te laat weeg.<\/p>\n
Maar eers moet sy haar rommel-kaart by een van die vrywilligers agter die lang ystertafel kry. Di\u00e9 kaart bevat haar unieke rommelnommer, asook aantal mula<\/i>-punte (die \u201crommelrande\u201d wat kinders met hul herwinbare rommel verdien).<\/p>\n
Hierna word haar rommel geweeg en haar mulas<\/i> uitgewerk wat haar koopkrag in die mula-<\/i>winkel bepaal. Di\u00e9 punte word op haar kaart aangeteken.<\/p>\n
Hoe swaarder die skaal trek, hoe meer mula<\/i>-punte verdien hulle. Maar om die nuwe elektroniese skaal behoorlik te laat kreun, verg baie optelwerk.<\/p>\n
Twee kilogram papier of glas is een mula<\/i>-punt werd, terwyl 1kg-blikkies kinders een mula<\/i>-punt in die sak bring. Een kilogram plastiek besorg jong herwinners twee punte.<\/p>\n
Daar is baie om van te kies, selfs noodsaaklike dinge soos toiletpa-pier, seep, tandepasta, tandeborsels en skryfbehoeftes, maar die fietse en spoggerige nuwe sokkerstewels . . . dit bly die wonderlikste.<\/p>\n
Baie mulas<\/i> is hiervoor nodig: 30 mulas<\/i> vir \u2019n paar sokkerstewels en tot 225 mulas<\/i> vir \u2019n seunsfiets. <\/p>\n
Op Maandag is sewe sokkerste-wels binne die eerste uur verkoop.<\/p>\n
\u201cBaie van die kinders bring week na week hul rommel in, en spaar hul mulas<\/i> vir die groot dag wanneer daar genoeg vir \u2019n fiets is,\u201d s\u00ea projekko\u00f6rdineerder, Tanja Lategan.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns was baie opgewonde toe klein Abraham Tarentaal dit verlede jaar reggekry het om \u2019n lieflike, rooi tweedehandse fiets te koop. D\u00edt na hy meer as 100 mulas<\/i> gespaar het en 24 EcoBricks op een Maandag na die projek gebring het.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy het die vorige jaar ook vir \u2019n fiets probeer spaar, maar die koop-lus het hom oorrompel. Dit was dus werklik besonder toe sy tweede poging \u2019n sukses was.\u201d<\/p>\n
Verder is daar ook skoene, skoolklere, groente, tee, melk, rys, poppe en balle.<\/p>\n
Dit kom alles van skenkings.<\/p>\n
\n Rommelstatus<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cSedert die projek in Januarie 2011 begin het, is 6 950 leerders geregistreer,\u201d s\u00ea Lategan. \u201cIn di\u00e9 tydperk het die kinders al gesamentlik 667 ton herwinbare vullis ingebring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens Lategan het 2019 op \u2019n goeie noot ge\u00ebindig: 6 229 individuele besoeke, \u2019n gemiddeld van 175 kinders per handelsdag, 37 handelsdae en 53.5 ton rommel.<\/p>\n
