Rest-a-While offers clarity on paper recycling
Rest-a-While Service Centre for the Elderly urges the community not to dump their unrecyclable items outside the centre.
The Mpact Recycling Team recently changed its recycling criteria.
This means that Rest-a-While Service Centre for the Elderly is no longer able to collect and recycle newspapers, old books, egg trays, arch-lever files or mixed paper in general.

“We, therefore, appeal to the community to no longer bring these items to the recycling bins at the centre,” said centre manager Trudy Carreira.
“We also ask that residents not dump their unrecyclable items outside the centre as has been the case.”
Though the centre cannot collect mixed paper, they can collect separated paper.
This includes:
• Separated white paper.
• Separated coloured paper.
• Separated magazines.
• Separated cartons (Tetra Pak).
• Separated cardboard (flattened).

“We encourage the community to separate their paper into the grades which we can collect so we can continue to recycle,” said Trudy.
