The New Year brings a renewed sense of excitement and possibility.

- By The Glass Recycling Company

A reminder that, despite everything we've weathered, South Africans will roll up their sleeves and give it another go.It's the familiar rhythm of this country: another year of hard work, another year of reward. And somewhere between school shoes being bought, early morning routines, and everyone settling back into the flow of a new year, a quieter engine of hope keeps turning - glass recycling.

A new chapter, same community heartbeat

The year begins with familiar routines that keep families moving forward. People arrive at various recycling or glass drop-off points with bags and trolleys, and buyback centres reopen with renewed energy, ready for the year ahead. The atmosphere isn't loud, it’s steady, purposeful and undeniably communal.
