Residents from various communities in Cape Town have joined the battle against illegal dumping and littering. The City\u2019s Urban Waste Management Directorate is hopeful more will take up the fight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The City\u2019s Urban Waste Management Directorate is pleased to report that the Mayor\u2019s Let\u2019s Keep Cape Town Clean campaign has inspired many more community leaders and representatives to take up the fight against littering and dumping in their area. <\/p>\n
Since the campaign launched in February this year, the directorate has supported 111 community clean-ups organised by ward councillors and community organisations. Support is provided in the form of blue bags, and removal of bagged waste to landfills. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u2018Our sincere thanks go out to all those who have participated in community clean-ups, and we hope that this will inspire more communities into action. The primary benefit of community clean-ups is residents demonstrating that they stand against littering and dumping. Unfortunately, some Capetonians still believe that it is the City\u2019s duty alone to ensure that neighbourhoods are kept clean. While the City does have a role to play in keeping the environment clean and beautiful, we need a team effort with residents to make progress,\u2019 said Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Waste Management Alderman Grant Twigg.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Those who organised clean-ups since February 2022 include:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u2022 Shark Spotters <\/p>\n
\u2022 Save our Schools <\/p>\n
\u2022 Dunoon ECD forum <\/p>\n
\u2022 Numerous ward councillors across the City<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If you would like the City to support a community clean-up in your area please contact your Ward Councillor. The City hopes to shine a spotlight on many more positive contributions in future. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
