Risky wastes are no longer accepted in  regular trash
Glass, tin cans, plastics—all of them are accepted recyclable materials. In Namibia, significant progress is being made to reduce the amount of waste that is dumped in landfills. But can things like spent motor oil and discarded car batteries, be recycled?

The Windhoek Municipality’s Solid Rubbish Management Division estimates that 3000 piles of waste are produced daily in Namibia.

An ageing car battery’s powerful acid and lead provide a risk to the environment. However, there are systems in place to recycle these materials in a profitable manner.
Every company that sells new automobile batteries ought to offer you at least N$20 in return.
