Raid reveals recycling business

DOUGLASDALE - Local security company, RSS conducted a routine operation on an open piece of land on Hornbill Road in Douglasdale on the night of 27 August.

According to them, they had received phone calls from concerned residents about dumping and littering taking place on the open veldt.

The RSS raid team found that vagrants were living on the land and that they were making a living collecting and selling recyclable products for money. The vagrants are allegedly paid R3.50 per kilogram of plastic and R4.50 per kilogram of tin at a buy-back centre in Alexandra.

The raid team realised that the vagrants picked through bins in the area to retrieve the recyclable items, but were discarding other rubbish that they could not use on the open land. RSS spoke to the vagrants about not littering and have given the vagrants until

1 September to vacate the premises before involving the police.
