With the aim of protecting the environment and keeping the Kingdom of Bahrain clean, Recycling for Charity, working with Sphinx Cleaning Company representing North Municipality and the ‘Love Bahrain Litter Free’ Campaign, opened their first recycling bank in the Kingdom at Alosra Supermarket, Budaiya on Wednesday 11 March.
The recycling bank is located in the car park of Alosra and residents of Bahrain are urged to bring their plastic bottles, cans, paper and glass to the bank so the items can be recycled. The bins will be emptied regularly and the recycling items will be transported to Recycling for Charity’s factory in Sitra where the items will be recycled for use both here in the Kingdom and overseas.
The recycling bank is the first local site but many more will follow. It is the aim of the Municipalities to have recycling stations in all Governorates in order to make it easy for everyone in Bahrain to recycle.
“Recycling it vital to the future of Bahrain and the timing of the recycling bank opening fits in with the recent launch of the Love Bahrain Litter Free Campaign. We are all working together to keep the Kingdom clean and to ensure that the country offers a healthy environment for future generations,” explained a municipalities’ spokesperson.
In Bahrain nearly 3,500 tonnes of waste are disposed of daily which equates to 1.3 million tonnes a year. Approximately 25 per cent of this waste is paper and at least 50 per cent can be recycled directly. If this waste is recycled it will save a huge amount of Bahrain’s rubbish ending up in a land fill, thereby allowing the land fill to last longer.
Mr Tariq Mohammed Al Amin, General Manager of Sphinx Cleaning Services and one of the founder members of the ‘Love Bahrain Litter Free’ campaign alongside Gulf City Cleaning Services, welcomed the move to introduce the recycling station saying, “We are very pleased to see this very important initiative take place, which co-incides with our own campaign to create awareness for everyone about taking personal responsibility for the disposal of their own rubbish. This is the first of many opportunities in which we can work together with Recycle for Charity and we look forward to many more events which will help to minimize the issues face in effective waste management in Bahrain.”
“At Recycling for Charity, we welcome the support of the Ministry and the ‘Love Bahrain Litter Free’ campaign as we launch our first recycling bank in the Northern Governorate. This is just the start of our vision to improve the environment of Bahrain,” said Boris Uhlig, Chief Executive Officer, Recycling for Charity. “Recycling is an excellent way to save energy and conserve the environment and it is our aim to help people to understand recycling and how it can benefit each and every one of us, the country and the planet.”
This recycling bank is the first of an ongoing recycling programme and many more recycling stations will be opening across the Kingdom in the coming months.
