EVERY month litter discarded from vehicles travelling on the N2 between Empangeni and Umdloti (near King Shaka Airport), fills no fewer than  1 400 bags.

The South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) employs a contractor to clean up the 138km stretch of road at the beginning of each month.

‘An emerging sub-contractor is appointed for each of four sections along this route to conduct routine road maintenance and picking up litter,’ said SANRAL Environmental Manager  Mpati Makoa.
