The first recycling hub in Windhoek, offering a central point where residents can drop off a variety of recyclables - as well as correctly dispose of other items, is here. The Dagbreek School for the Intellectually Impaired, winner of the Recycle Namibia Forum's (RNF) Annual Schools Recycling Competition over the past few years, was the first choice for the RNF as a 'one-stop' collection point in Windhoek. According to Anita Witt, RNF coordinator, the enthusiasm and commitment displayed by the school – both from the learners as well as teachers and the school principal, made this an obvious choice to expand recycling efforts and awareness. “The school and its learners are also very involved with, and are supported in their efforts by their local communities, with regular clean-ups hosted in the suburbs surrounding the school.” Apart from the usual recyclables such as paper, plastic, glass and cans, Witt says Dagbreek School now offers collection points for e-waste, as well as used household batteries. It is envisaged to expand the project with the implementation of a collection point for used fluorescent light bulbs during the course of 2018. Scrap Salvage and Varta Consumer Batteries Namibia also came to the party by placing skips and bins at the school and doing the collections. Staff Reporter
