World Environment Day : ZimboGreen working with City of Harare

Mr Mhlanga at City of Harare Parks Department organised for ZimboGreen to receive mango tress to plant in Highfields to commemorate World Environment Day .

ZIMBOGREEN VISITS RECYCLERS IN HIGHFIELDS

ZimboGreen recently went on a tour of some of the recyclers in Highfields accompanied by our Ambassador Discord .

One of them Mai Rugare ( locally known as Mai Marara ) specializes in aluminium cans. Another recycler in PET mainly bottles .

With the challenges that City of Harare admitted to facing in the area of waste management , the importance of the work being carried out by the ever growing numbers of recyclers in Highfields can't be stressed enough.

THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC AND THE RISE IN URBAN FARMING

As ZimboGreen drove around Highfields we could not help but notice that residents are growing vegetables on every available patch of land around their homes .

Increasing economic hardships due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID 19 pandemic have driven many to try and grow their own food .

As Mai Marara said " why should I buy vegetables when I can grow my own ".

Tatenda Aka Triggaz our green fingered resident has taken growing his own food one step further . In collaboration with Mr Chiremba , Triggaz is using worms to not only break down collected food waste and diapers to make organic fertiliser , but also to feed his chickens !! His chickens are thriving on the abundant source of food.

Triggaz has grown nutritious traditional vegetables and herbs to keep his family which includes his elderly grandmother healthy and protected during this pandemic.

REPLACING DUMPSITES WITH WASTE TRANSFER STATIONS IN HIGHFIELDS

A hard-working female recycler Mai Kamu Kamu in Highfields showed ZimboGreen a dumpsite around the corner from her home in Highfields .

The position of the dumpsite would make an ideal location for a waste transfer station once Awareness ( of the separation at source of waste strategy ) in that neighbourhood is carried out fully .

Mai Kamu Kamu's business is growing as shown in the photos taken at her premises .

This dumpsite is outside the perimeter wall of a primary school. Awareness would conditions permitting also include the school.

WASTE MANAGEMENT DURING THE PANDEMIC.......SEPARATE YOUR WASTE ! ZimboGreen went with our Zero Waste expert Takunda Makumbinde and our ZimboGreen Ambassador 'Discord' to do a follow up visit at Mr Mujani's Complex at Willowvale Flats in Highfields Harare. Takunda was there to assess the type and volume of waste being generated by the residents . Takunda also offered Mr Mujani additional information on the different materials that can be recycled in Zimbabwe and the need to warn people against contamination . The residents are encouraged by the fact that their Complex is not surrounded by dumpsites . Thanks to Mr Machiri of Santiza Buzara for organising with Delta to remove a full lorry load of recyclables from the Complex . Mr Machiri will have to go back again to collect from our ever energetic Mr Chiremba's Complex . One lorry load less to picked up by City of Harare !! #Santiza Buzara #Delta Beverages https://www.instagram.com/p/CN9bEWuDNxO/?igshid=p1eikuckli3f

FOOD WASTE /WORMS /DIAPERS Mr Mujani showed us how he is using food waste /worms to tackle the diaper problem . He has dug pits into which he places the diapers and food waste . The contents are covered with a thin layer of soil .The worms are doing the rest !! Mr Chiremba , Mr Karonga and Triggaz in a nearby Complex are continuing to produce organic fertiliser from the food waste /diapers and worms . Once Mr Mujani obtains some containers he too will be making organic fertiliser . The residents are making a strong case for a waste transfer station which we are helping them to pursue . 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #zerowaste #wormfarming #blacksoldierflylarvae #NoDumping https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpVOmJDSlA/?igshid=9k09b56u184e

ZIMBOGREEN'S HIGHFIELDS RECYCLING HEROES CONTINUE THEIR FIGHT AGAINST WASTE POLLUTION ZimboGreen visited two of our Recycling Heroes Mr Mujani and Mr Chiremba at Willowvale Flats in Highfields over the weekend .The two together with their colleagues are working hard to prevent the formation of dumpsites near their complexes . They are successfully encouraging residents at some of the Complexes to recycle their household waste . The volume of recyclables that they are collecting is indeed so impressive that ZimboGreen went to give them more tonne bags. With the additional tonne bags they hope to expand their project. A collection is being organised . #reuse #recycle #notolandfill https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpVAItDgY1/?igshid=1ccq08lrjkabt
