Garbage & recycling
Please make sure that your visitors and domestic workers are informed about this, too.
Garbage room
The garbage room door is next to the main entrance gate.
We replaced the lock and every flat has been given a key (Feb 2025). If you’ve lost yours, you can get a replacement at the hardware store: key number M24B. Alternatively, the shared key is in the lock box (code 3456) on the inside wall of the staircase by flat number 3. Please return the shared key immediately after use and close the lock box again.
collects garbage on Tuesdays. Farrington will wheel the bins out (and back in, but if the city collects late —as it sometimes does— we ask residents to wheel it back into the garbage room at night as to not get stolen).
🚮 Normal garbage
Place closed bags in the plain black wheelie bins in the garbage room; no loose garbage items, please.
♻️ Recycling
There are recycling bins with yellow lids in the trash room. You can mix different recyclable items together (glass, tin cans, plastic) but make sure that the items are properly rinsed and also in a closed bag.
Please don’t put individual loose items in the recycling bin. Don’t put anything that isn’t recyclable in the recycling bins — see the list further down of what is and isn’t recycled.
🧑🌾 Composting
There is no composting at Bagamoya at present; food scraps go in the normal garbage for now. Alternatively, consider taking it to Erf 81 (known as “The Farm”) in Tamboerskloof, a , as it is used as animal feed and compost there.
📦 Cardboard boxes
Please break down and flatten cardboard boxes, you can place them next to the wall in the trash room.
