Rundu cleanup campaign

THE Rundu Town Council is trying to clean up the town by making ‘wheelie bins’ available to every household.

The initiative is being implemented through a lease agreement between the Rundu Town Council and Ondangwa Plastic Converters, and is financed by Nedbank Namibia to the tune of N$2,6 million. Ndeshi Ndangula of Plastic Converters said the community of Rundu gave the town council the go-ahead to lease the industrial dustbins.Homeowners will pay N$10 a month for five years, after which the bins will become their property.The Rundu Town Council will initially lease 2 600 bins, and it is envisaged that by 2008, the council will be renting out up to 6 000 bins.Ndeshi Ndangula of Plastic Converters said the community of Rundu gave the town council the go-ahead to lease the industrial dustbins.Homeowners will pay N$10 a month for five years, after which the bins will become their property.The Rundu Town Council will initially lease 2 600 bins, and it is envisaged that by 2008, the council will be renting out up to 6 000 bins.
