Sale of Securitas to ADT
Securitas has advised the RRA committee of the
sale of their reaction and residential security
services business to ADT.
The RRA committee held an urgent meeting and
arranged an initial meeting with the new ADT
management so as to discuss the continuation of
security services at the required level. There will
be no reduction in the level of the security
services provided and the majority of the existing
Securitas staff rendering services within the RRA
area will be employed by ADT and continue
performing these services.
The RRA committee decided that it is important
to hold a special meeting for residents to meet
ADT and to be informed by ADT and by the RRA
committee of the measures being taken to
ensure a continuation of the required services,
and for members to be afforded an opportunity
of raising any questions they may have.
The continued success of the RRA remains
dependent on the continued support of its
residents, and we encourage residents to attend
the special meeting on 22 February 2016."
Chairman's’ NoteWelcome to the first newsletter of 2016! On behalf of the association we wish you all a
wonderful year filled with light and laughter

security).
They are also available if
you have any RRA
specific queries.

Background about Whole Earth Recycling
Whole Earth Recycling was founded in March 2007 at Cluny Farm and sorting was
done by 4 sorters until 2008.
Whole Earth Recycling then moved to Décor Park in 2009 and finally to Strijdom Park
where they started their community based project in 2011.
Whole Earth Recycling provides a simple, reliable and hassle-free way to recycle and
by supporting Whole Earth Recycling you are supporting a wonderful community
based project; a group of sorters calling themselves Hawk Flight currently a group of 24
sorters.
The Hawk Flight team generate an income for themselves by sorting and selling the
material to a local buy-back centre. This is their only source of income and without it
they would be rummaging through Municipal refuse bins (in most cases mixed with old
food etc.) in order to gather recyclables to sell.
By recycling you are contributing towards job creation (a total of around 40 people),
directly through the Whole Earth Recycling admin team, the drivers, and the truck
assistants (loaders) and indirectly through the community based project, while
reducing the impact that we are having on our environment. Every little bit helps.
Our collection service in its basic outline is:
We provide you with 10 blue recycling refuse bags every month;
All of your recycling (paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, cans, cartons such as
Tetra Pak and electronic waste- anything with a plug) can be placed into the
same blue bag- Hawk Flight take care of the sorting;
Place your recycling outside on your kerb every TUESDAY in Randpark/Windsor
Glen for collection and we will collect it.
The service costs for a household are as follows:
Registration fee (once off) R 114.00 AND
Collection fee of R 85.00 per month
