Free business idea: Recycling Bins

Maybe something like the above recycling bins are already available in South Africa, if they are, they certainly haven’t been marketed very well. I think there is a gap in the SA market – a super easy recycling solution for the South African household. I’m the kind of guy that needs a system to ensure that it’s going to work. Simply having an extra bag/box for recycling next to your current bin isn’t going to cut it. I need gear! I need something official! I need something that’s going to look good! I need some decent recycling kit!
Homerecycling.co.uk is making it ultra easy for the home and office recycler, providing a huge range of bins that will assist in your recycling regime. There is also another challenge that needs to be overcome – a more available system to facilitate the collection of your neatly sorted waste from your home or office.
Does anyone know what types of recycling services are already available in SA?

Could you please give me more detail regarding this? we live in Rustenburg, and the municipality does not give us the service for recycling. Our church wants to start this for our community and want to spread out for the rest of the town. How do we go to work about this?
Thanks
