Twenty new voluntary drop-off points across six districts, with the collection logistics to keep every one of them emptied on schedule.
Rs 82,000 installs one drop-off point and runs its collection round for a year.
1 March 2026 – 1 March 2027
The network currently covers forty-one voluntary drop-off points. This project adds twenty more across six districts, selected by density and by distance from an existing point rather than by where a site is easiest to obtain.
The capital cost of a point is the small part. What this budget mostly funds is the collection round — because a full, overflowing recycling point does more damage to public willingness to sort waste than no point at all.
Each new point comes with signage in three languages, a launch session with the surrounding community, and monthly tonnage reporting published openly.
Demo content — an illustrative sample project, not an actual programme of this organisation.
Six new points are live — three in Plaines Wilhems, two in Moka, one in Port Louis. Tonnage across the whole network for the quarter came to 148 tonnes, of which glass is still the largest fraction by weight and PET by volume.
The Curepipe point had to be relocated forty metres after complaints about the collection lorry blocking a lane. Worth mentioning because siting is the part of this work that people underestimate.
