Through semi-structured interviews, the study explored the economic and social benefits that BBCs provide to informal communities, such as employment opportunities and improved compensation systems. The research also revealed various challenges that BBCs face, including market competition, regulatory issues, infrastructure shortcomings, and the increasing financial contributions of the informal recycling sector. To address these challenges, the study recommends implementing clear policies, enhancing infrastructure, and increasing government support. The research highlights the significance of BBCs in promoting community livelihoods and identifies areas that require further exploration. The study's findings offer practical strategies for stakeholders, underscoring the importance of collaboration to strengthen the impact of BBCs on South Africa's informal economy. pagibs2024 2024-05-10T10:17:30Z 2024-05-10T10:17:30Z 2024-04-17 2024-04-17 Mini Dissertation * A2024 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/95903 en © 2023 University of Pretoria.
