Waste Collection Drive - February, 2022

Do numbers matter? YES, especially when it comes to Waste Management, we would say!

ROKA finished its 5th mammoth 3-day Waste collection drive on February 13, amassing:

• E-waste: 5.61 metric tonnes

• Clothes: 7.5 metric tonnes

• Fotwear/Matresses: 2 metric tonnes

Our friends from other communities/areas also joined in our efforts and together, we were successful in diverting a mammoth 15 tonnes of waste from landfills.
