Story 1
Community clean-up initiatives in Albertsville and Melville Koppies are helping to remove plastic waste from rivers and public spaces while supporting a growing recycling project in Johannesburg.
The Hlanzekile River and Ocean Cleaning organisation collects and sorts waste from multiple sites before processing selected plastics into new products at its Soweto workshop, including educational materials such as pens and school desks.
Organisers say the project links environmental protection with community development by turning collected waste into usable items while encouraging public participation in recycling efforts.
