Majola said all parents and children bring in recycling items from home, and Mpact collects from their school every week.

“Mpact keeps track of the weight and tonnage of the items brought in, and they run a competition throughout the year with various KZN schools. At the end of the year, the school with the highest tonnage wins the competition. The school ranked fourth and was awarded with R1 000 which will be used to purchase more recycling bins for our school,” she said.
