    Highlights for the quarter

    ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL CORPORATE AFFAIRS REPORT

    • F19 MAD campaign activities began.
    • Collection of waste from the Delta cages a cause for concern. Cages are not being emptied and this remains a challenge and a threat to corporate reputation.
    • Chitungwiza Town Council removed 4 of our cages and Harare City Council has removed the Glen Norah A cage and is threatening to continue removing these if waste in the cages is not collected.
    • Servicing of cages requires reinforcement to ensure there are no overflows. Support from commercial has become very critical.
    • Citizen responsibility is still very peripheral and a lot of work has to be done to lobby citizens to manage waste responsibly.
    • Harare City Council and its surrounding satellite towns capacity to collect refuse is not changing much in the positive and the burden of litter still prevails. Household based recycling options have become more critical.
    • Waste management has become very topical with more communities organizing themselves to deal with the issues of litter and giving rising expectation on the participation of corporates especially Delta Corporation..
    • The Delta-Boost waste management innovation program on course.
