Total South Africa removed the recycling bins at its Summerstrand service station in Port Elizabeth. According to the company, they were removed due to abuse and added that the area had become a health risk.
“It worked well and things started falling apart because people started abusing the facility,” Total Media Relations representative Nadia Vosloo told News24.
The recycling bins were part of a national program.
“It’s been a program that we launched some years ago – maybe six years ago. I’m speaking under correction, but there are probably six to 10 [facilities] left countrywide,” said Vosloo.
The company said the facility in Summerstrand had become a dumping ground.
“People have been dumping items such as garden refuse, unwanted furniture, clothing and food… bins are clearly marked otherwise, and it is for this reason that the decision to close this facility has been taken,” said Total Corporate Communications and Marketing manager Reina Cullinan.
