Ocean Breeze has introduced a recycling initiative and call on the help of all the residents to participate in recycling and the #plasticMustFall movement. To participate look out for our marked recycling bins and use them to throw away all your recycled waste.
In addition to ensuring our private conservation area remains free of any rubbish recycling has the following benefits.
What are the benefits of recycling
