Recycling at home in South Africa can feel like a hassle. With limited kerbside collection, most households have to separate their recyclables and deliver them to drop-off or buy-back centers—and many people just give up.
But you don’t have to! At Sebowana, we’re here to make recycling easy, accessible, and worthwhile for everyone.
If you’ve always wanted to recycle but didn’t know how, this is your guide. We’ll help you every step of the way.
Did You Know?
-
Only 65% of cans are recycled.
-
Paper: 60%
-
Glass: 25%
-
Plastic: just 17%
A lot of what is recycled is recovered by informal collectors working in tough and often unsafe conditions. The best way to help?
Sort your recyclables at home—keep them clean and separate. We’ll handle the rest, and together, we’ll make a safer, greener South Africa.

Why You Should Recycle
The Earth’s resources aren’t limitless, so let’s make them last.
Think of that old saying: “Leave this place as you’d like to find it.”
Wouldn’t you rather see your grandchildren playing among autumn leaves than piles of rubbish?
South Africa’s government is aiming to cut landfill waste by 70% in the next decade.
To get there, we all need to embrace the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
