“Addressing the issue of litter in communities is not just about beautification; it is a holistic approach to improving overall well-being.” -Jaffee Judah The effects of litter go far beyond the environmental impact. In our latest blog, hear from Jaffee Judah, executive director of Recycle & Reinvest, about how litter impacts communities, how less trash leads to less crime, and what each of us can do about it. https://lnkd.in/eS4ZuWVe

Meet our clean, green, eco-friendly, grass-cutting machine. While our mission is to transform lives and create great new homes, we also want to be more sustainable and improve our environmental performance too. Our new, fully electric, stand-on lawnmower is just one way to help us achieve this as it produces zero emissions and can cut grass for up to seven hours on a single charge. The benefits of our new mower are more than just environmental ones. It’s far quieter than traditional mowers which means that it doesn’t disrupt customers and other local residents when we’re cutting grass close to people’s homes. It’s also much smaller than many other machines which helps our colleagues to access more areas, including through narrow gates, so that we can be more efficient in our work. One of the new mower’s most recent outings was at our latest customer event in Harwich where we helped residents by clearing waste and debris from their gardens, picked litter, and carried out grounds maintenance work to improve their estate making it cleaner and tidier. #CHP #HousingAssociation #Sustainability #SustainableHousing #EcofriendlyHousing

Here's a short write-up about the issue of littering in Ekurhuleni: "It's heartbreaking to see the beautiful streets of Ekurhuleni marred by litter and waste. Unfortunately, the once-pristine sidewalks and green spaces are now often strewn with discarded trash, from plastic bags and bottles to food wrappers and broken glass. The worst part is that this trash is not just an eyesore - it also poses a serious threat to the environment, contaminating soil and waterways, and harming local wildlife. It's not just the aesthetics that are affected, either. Littering also attracts pests and rodents, which can spread disease and create unpleasant living conditions for local residents. And let's not forget the economic impact: littering can deter tourists and drive down property values, ultimately affecting the local economy. The worst part is that this is a problem that's entirely preventable. All it takes is a little effort and responsibility from each of us to dispose of our waste properly. Whether it's using the recycling bins provided or simply taking our trash home with us, we can all do our part to keep Ekurhuleni clean and beautiful. So let's make a pact to take pride in our community and keep our streets clean. Let's work together to create a litter-free Ekurhuleni, where everyone can thrive and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful city." Would you like me to add or change anything? Perhaps we can brainstorm some ways to spread awareness about this issue? we need to learn how to love ourselves and not depend on the municipalities to clean after us.

At Vonco, we're not your typical solid waste management facility. We have created a habitat for several animals, including ospreys, who return yearly to lay eggs. Since 2017, when we built a tower with a nest on top of it, these friendly visitors have visited our facility. Adorned with a camera, Vonco's tower can observe these beautiful birds yearly and count the number of eggs they lay in their nest. This year, we have two! Whether it's prioritizing our neat appearance, the thousands of tons we recycle, or the flock of turkeys, herds of deer, or osprey that nest just outside of our office, we incorporate sustainable practices into our daily operations. Environmental stewardship is an integral part of Vonco culture. We are evolving because we are committed to doing better. Pictured: The two osprey that just returned to their nest at Vonco II this week. #VoncoII #MoreThanALandFill #SustainablityCommitment #OspreyAreBack

Green bin programs can be challenging, particularly with older multi-residential properties that are not set up with adequate space. Using an enclosure like this can help with secure placement of a green bin, and help both with resident engagement and tracking, along with the prevention of contamination with access control options in place. #5C's #wastediversion #multiresidential #condoliving
