Kikoni_Dus a recycling company employees people to collect increasing polyethylene bags in hostels and a round makerere.The increasing polyethylene bags enter sewage trench and stop sewage from flowing which results to sewage flooding on surface especially rainy days this causing water and land pollutions.
Muwonge Paul who collects polyethlene bags in kikoni on behalf of Dus has revealed that four people are around makerere purposely to collect polythelene bags on behalf of sippy tec ,these Four move around all kikoni hostels and rentals collecting polyethylene bags,”following the theme of environmental conservation, we decided to deal with polyethylene bags recycling”.
He says the unique factor on them is that they specialise on collecting polythelene bags for recycling to manufacture new plastic bags, polythelene bags,plastic chairs,plates,plastic backets than many other companies that deal in recycling have concentrated mostly on bottle collections this helps dus to reduce on the competition in raw_materials accessibility.
Katamba Joseph who was assigned to collect polyethylene bags in hostels and rentals with in makerere -kikumi kikumi and near by areas says they have a challenge of students and people who dump polyethylene bags in sewage tunnels that accumulates with time resulting in sewage floating hence land pollutions and making the work difficult when collecting wet polyethylene bags from the treach to be dried for easy transportation.
Nabilye Aidan who works as a clear at kann and Prince hostels says the rubbish concerning polyethylene bags has reduced in these hostels as dus collectors come around .she says there is a little income added on her when the rubbish is sorted to remove polyethylene bags to easy the work of sippy tec collectors.However she adds that a challenge of some students who pour water mixed with polyethylene bags in sinking pipes and near sewage water tunnels connecting to kasubi_kikoni trench that the polyethylene bags accurate resulting to sewage floating in hostels she works in causing land pollution.
Chairperson kikoni B mr kiwanuka julius revealed that its true polyethylene bags when dumped in tunnels hinder water flow especially in the main tunnel that separate kikoni and kasubi.He adds that some times they conduct a general cleaning day (bulungi bwansi) especially on the tunnel of kikoni and kasubi to remove polyethylene bags that hinders the sewage flow and the workers of dus help them to take away the retrieved polyethylene bags for recycling so that they don’t go back in the tunnel when they are dry by air since they be right.
Despite the increasing effects of NEMA to reduce plastics,polyethylene bags usage and increase recycling rates,the majority of plastic and polyethylene bags still endup in litter of land,water and air pollutions.
It is estimated that only one percent of plastic bags are recycled.After primary use,however polyethylene bags can be recycled in numerous ways even without reprocessing, like use of plastic polyethylene grocery bags can be re-used as garbage bags or shopping bags.
Dus is a newly recycling company opening up a branch in nansana opposite seven sisters building to deal mostly with polyethylene bags recycling, with the motto “keep the environment cleaned as you make money”.
