Keep Umngeni Clean

#keepumngeniclean project about to launch!

Clean communities are the key to seeing a sustainable change in our region, encouraging tourists to visit, attracting investment, building civic pride, protecting the environment and enhancing public health

Love Howick’s Environmental and Waste Management department implements and manages projects – such as Renoverge, Bin It and the EPWP – that transform the streets and public spaces within our community into something to be proud of. A recent project saw the team tidy and clean the streets in the CBD and do scheduled maintenance and cleaning of the Bin It rubbish bins.

An exciting partnership has been formed between Love Howick, uMngeni Municipality and the Department of Environmental Affairs in an EPWP programme. The programme is set to start in September 2022 and will be running for a period of three months. A team of 24 hard-working candidates from our love Howick job centre will take to the streets in an intensive environmental and waste management project to remove waste and clean/clear public spaces within our municipality.

Their duties will include: Eradication of illegal dump sites and increasing capacity at the landfi ll site, e-waste dismantling and educational awareness on environmental issues, clean-ups within our parks, cemeteries and other public spaces, and maintaining the bins from our Bin It campaign.

For this campaign to be a success we need your help to provide PPE for the team. Items needed include: • 24 overalls • 24 sun hats • 24 boots • 24 heavy-duty garden gloves • 12 brush-cutter safety goggles • 12 brush-cutter safety aprons • 6 Wheelbarrows • 12 spades • 12 brooms • 12 plastic rakes • 12 garden forks • 6 metal rakes • Supply of black plastic bags • Petrol sponsorship for brush-cutters & transport.
