Chemicals

Our project activity is to collect three types of waste material namely: bottles (plastic and glass), paper and card boxes and cans from soft drinks. The collection is done from various collection points established over the years. These include house holds, taverns, retail stores, wholesalers and other trading stores. The waste is brought to the sorting yard and the processing begins. The products are sorted per client s requirements: (see attached Consol requirements) Bottles are broken and split into colours; plastic bottles are squashed and packed into shapes as instructed. Members project workers are given 2,5 tons of bottles to break and sort each day. The container is loaded in 20 kg increments until 500 kg is reached. The plastic bottles are compacted into 20kg bundles. The card boxes are folded and tied into 20kg loads. The cans are compacted and packed into 20 kg loads. (Any burnt bottles are discarded / excluded) The clients truck fetches the bins from the sorting yard and requires that 20 tons must be ready per week. The client weighs the bins to confirm the load and signs a docket for our monies claim. Each fortnight our project member collects monies from the client per the weight collected and the agreed rate. Note: daily stock collected is weighed per individual collector to monitor performance and equity.
