A household recycling pilot programme was launched in Windhoek. It is aimed at effectively managing waste in Katutura's Luxury Hill area.

The pilot programme means to encourage residents to hold a positive attitude toward their environment and do their part to keep the City clean.

The solid waste management project is part of an agreement between the City of Windhoek and the Germany's Free Hanseatic City of Bremen titled 'Improving Solid Waste Management in Windhoek".

The project is financed by the European Union at a cost of N$36,8 million.
