Sand Street goes green

Go Green and Clean and the City of Joburg’s eco-guides, revamped Sand Street through a clean-up campaign recently.

“We dedicated this past week to clean up the rubble along the street and to clear up the illegal dumping outside people’s yards.

“We aim to team up with residents and teach them about sustainable agriculture where each household will be responsible for starting their own vegetable garden,” said Brynmor Coolman, an eco-guide from Go Green and Clean.

Coolman says by residents learning to sort out their litter, they can understand which type of waste can be recycled and which should be thrown away.

“During this past week, we taught residents to be water wise and the importance of becoming active participants in cleaning their own yards,” he said.

Coolman thanked the residents of Sand Street for giving this initiative the support it needed for it to be a success and he said Go Green and Clean aims to host more campaigns of this nature in other areas in Eldorado Park.
