There is a fully functional recycling plant on the outskirts of the town, however, the future of this plant depends on the support of the community.
The more we recycle, the less garbage winds up in our landfills and the side of the roads. We encourage residents and visitors to drop recyclable materials off at the site. Below is a list of materials currently processed there. For more information contact Pieter du Toit at pieter@charmingshoessa.co.za
