Lefaragatlhe Waste Management project started far back in 2006 with the purpose of making business out of recyclable materials. The main focus is to create employement opportunities and poverty alleviation. The project has the potential of employing fifty to hundred employment opportunities through direct and indirect waste collection.
The erection of the structure has been jointly done by Departmentment of Environmental Affairs and Rustenburg Local Municipality. Royal Bafokeng Economic Development has assisted in identifying beneficiaries and selection. To date the beneficiaries had formulated a cooperative in which five members will take leadership to the project.
