Oricol Environmental Services

🇿🇦💚💛 The Oricol Durban team is READY! 🏆

We may be in the business of waste management — but today, we're managing more than just waste. Pre-match nerves are very much on the list! 😄

The green and gold is out, the flags are flying, and the whole office is buzzing ahead of South Africa's opening match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup tonight.

Come on Bafana Bafana! 🇿🇦⚽

Grease trap effluent. Expired stock. Contaminated food. Animal by-products. Bakery waste.

Yes, we take all of it.

Our materials recovery facilities process a wide range of food and organic waste — and our goal is simple: divert as much as possible from landfill and redirect it into something useful.

Food waste to landfill is on borrowed time.

South Africa's Draft National Waste Management Strategy 2026 has put organic waste on the national priority list for the first time.

Oricol's composting facility near Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal, was built for exactly this moment.

Don't wait for regulation to catch your business off guard.

Did you know that over 100,000 tonnes of food waste is processed by Oricol every year? 🐄

Instead of ending up in landfill, that waste is transformed into something valuable — including feed for South African farm animals.

Here's how we close the loop:

🚛 We collect food and organic waste from food manufacturers, restaurants, retailers and hospitality businesses.

⚙️ Packaged waste is mechanically depackaged. The packaging goes to recycling. The organic content gets a second life.

🐑 Suitable recovered food material is dried, processed and turned into a registered, nutritious animal feed supplement — available to smallholder farmers and large beef and dairy farms.

🌱 Other organic residuals become rich compost and organic fertilisers that go back into South African soils.

📊 And every step is tracked — so our clients always know exactly how much waste they've diverted.

This is the circular economy in action. Not as a buzzword. As a system that actually works.

If your business generates food or organic waste, let's talk. 👇

We couldn't be prouder to celebrate this incredible 20th-anniversary milestone with Myekeni Mavatha, a truck assistant at our Gqeberha branch, who recently received his well-deserved long-service award from our Eastern Cape Logistics Manager, Ameer Peerbhai!

Two decades of hard work, loyalty, and commitment — Myekeni, you are a true cornerstone of our team.

Thank you for showing up every single day with dedication and pride. Here's to you!

🌍 Happy Earth Day from the Oricol team!

While Earth Day is a beautiful reminder to pause and appreciate our planet, we believe real change happens in the everyday moments — not just on April 22nd.

That's why every day, our team works alongside businesses to make sure their waste is handled safely, legally, and responsibly.

From hazardous waste collection to compliance support, we help companies do their part — one collection at a time.

To every client who chooses to do things the right way: thank you, you're making a difference 💚

Here's to protecting our planet — today and every day.

Two decades of early mornings, long roads, and unwavering dedication.

We couldn't be prouder to celebrate this 20th-anniversary milestone with Mzwandile Adams, a driver at our Gqeberha branch, who recently received his long-service award from our Eastern Cape logistics manager, Ameer Peerbhai.

Mzwandile, your reliability, commitment, and the pride you bring to representing Oricol every single day have left a lasting mark on our team and everyone you've served along the way.

Thank you for being the backbone of what we do.

Here's to you — and to many more milestones ahead!

Today is Global Recycling Day ♻️ — and we think every day should be.

Oricol helps South African businesses divert waste from landfill and recover real value from their materials.

Plastics. Metals. Cardboard. Organics. We handle it all — with the reporting to back it up.

Please join us in congratulating all three on this well-deserved achievement!
