EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The City of uMhlathuze Municipality has reviewed and updated its Integrated Waste

Management Plan (IWMP) for the Waste Management Division of the Municipality.

This is a built up from the previous plan, and therefore the old one is still relevant as part of a

long term planning.

While reviewing the Plan, the current status of the waste collection systems and existing

disposal sites, the service delivery capacity and the needs were analysed.

The current legislation which dictates to Waste Management was also reviewed. Three

methodological approaches were applied which included desk top analysis, in depth interviews

with Waste Management officials, King Cetshwayo District Municipality officials, Sampled

Industries and Mining sector.

The communities of different type of settlements were interviewed by random selection of

households. The interviews were not structured but focused on the methods used and general

challenges existing with waste collection and disposal, any knowledge of the term “Recycling”.

Observation method was also used especially on the status of illegal sites, transfer stations

and Regional Landfill.

Conclusions and recommendations were drawn from these findings.

Thank you

The National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) provides for co-operative governance by establishing principles and procedures for decision-makers on matters affecting the environment.

An important function of the Act is to serve as an enabling Act for the promulgation of legislation to effectively address integrated environmental management. Some of the principles in the Act are: Accountability; Affordability; Cradle to the Grave Management; Equity; Integration; Open


2

Information; Polluter Pays; Subsidiary; Waste Avoidance and Minimisation; Co-operative Governance; Sustainable Development; and Environmental Protection and Justice.

Chapter 2 makes provision for the establishment of the Committee for Environmental Co-ordination (CEC). The objective of the committee is to promote the integration and co-ordination of environmental functions by the relevant organs of state and in particular to promote the achievement of the purpose and objectives of environmental implementation plans and environmental management plans.

Chapter 3 requires that National government and Provincial departments that have waste management responsibilities develop Environmental Implementation Plans (EIPs) every four years and an environmental management plan (EMP). Local government is obliged to exercise its responsibilities in accordance with these plans and to report annually within four months from the end of its financial year on implementation of the environmental management plan or environmental implementation plan. Provincial government must ensure that municipalities adhere to the relevant environmental implementation and management plans within its province, as well as the principles in the preparation of any policy, programme or plan including the establishment of Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) and Land Development Objectives (LDOs).

Chapter 7 Imposes a duty of care in respect of pollution and environmental degradation. Any person who has caused significant pollution or degradation of the environment must take steps to minimise the pollution. Where an incident occurs that is detrimental to the environment, the responsible person for the incident must within 14 days of the incident report to the Director General, provincial head of department and municipality. The relevant authority may specify measures to address the problem and remediate the area within 7 days. The Acts also attach consequences for breaching the duty of care, namely that government authorities are empowered to issue directions are not complied with.

Chapter 8 Provides that the Minister and every MEC and municipality may enter into an environmental management co-operation agreement with any person or community for the purpose of promoting compliance with the principles laid down in NEMA. Environmental Co-operation Agreements may contain an undertaking by the person or the community concerned to improve the standards laid down by law for the protection of the environment and a set of measurable targets and a timeframe for fulfilling the undertaking.

Chapter 9 Allows the Minister to make laws and by-laws aimed at establishing measures for the management of environmental impacts of any development within the jurisdiction of the municipality, which may be adopted by the municipality as by-laws. Any municipality may request the Director General to assist it with its preparation of by-laws on matters affecting the environment and the Director General may not unreasonably refuse such a request. The Director General may institute programmes to assist municipalities with the preparation of by-laws for the purposes of implementing this Act.

2.2.2 NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: WASTE ACT 59 OF 2008

The National Environmental Management Waste Act (Act 59 of 2008) was published as No 278 in

Government Gazette No. 32000, on 10 March 2009. The Act was signed by the President on 6

March 2009 and published on 10 March 2009. On 1 July 2009 the Waste Act came into operation.

The Waste Act repealed Section 20 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989 (Act 73 of 1989)

and introduces new provisions regarding the licensing of waste management activities. Waste

activities listed under Schedule 1 in the National Environmental Management Act 2008 as defined

in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) regulations made under section 24(5) 0f the

National Environmental Management Act 2008 (NEMA), should be licensed in terms of section 45

of the National Environment Management: Waste Act 59 of 2008. The license is made subject to a

number of conditions, which inter alia pertain to the design, construction, monitoring and closure of

a waste disposal site.

The DWAF Minimum Requirements Documents still form the basis for the licensing process and

may be included as permit conditions, thereby becoming legally binding on the license holder. The

license holder is generally required to operate, maintain and attend closure of a waste disposal site

in compliance with the license conditions, as well as in accordance with the guidelines set out in

the Minimum Requirements Documents.

Environmental Impact Assessment regulations, regarding activities defined under Section 21(1) of

the Environment Conservation Act, have been promulgated in Government Notice R1183 of 5

September 1997. An EIA must be conducted prior to the establishment of waste disposal facilities.

The Waste Act entrenches best practices in waste management into law, replacing the out dated

and unsustainable “end of pipe” approach with a new, and more environmentally responsible and

sustainable approach.

The Act deals with minimising the consumption of natural resources , waste generation, recycling,

waste disposal, prevention of pollution, promotion of waste services, remedying land degradation,

and achieving integrated waste management reporting and planning.

2.2.3 ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION ACT 73 OF 1989

The National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 repeals and amends parts of the

Environmental Conservation Act and the Environmental Conservation Amendment Act with regard

to the management of waste in South Africa and introduces new provisions regarding the

authorisation of waste management activities.

2.2.4 MUNICIPAL DEMARCATION ACT 27 OF 1998

The Municipal Demarcation Act 27 of 1998 provides criteria and procedures for the determination

of municipal boundaries by an independent authority. In terms of the Act, the Municipal

Demarcation Board is established to determine municipal boundaries.

Section 24 provides that when demarcating a municipal boundary, the board must aim to establish

an area that would enable the municipality to fulfil its Constitutional obligations, including the

provision of services in an equitable and sustainable manner, the promotion of social and


4

economic development and the promotion of a safe and a healthy environment. The tax base must

also be as inclusive as possible of users of municipal services in the municipality.

2.2.5 NATIONAL DOMESTIC WASTE COLLECTION STANDARDS, JANUARY 2011

The purpose of the document is to redress past imbalances in the provision of waste collection

services, it is imperative that acceptable, affordable and suitable waste collection services be

rendered to all South Africans. The provision of waste collection services improves the quality of

life of the entire community and ensures a clean and more acceptable place to live and work in.

The lack of or poor quality waste collection services can however result in a number of

environmental and human health problems.

The National Environment Management Waste Act, 2008 (Act no.59 of 2008) stipulates that

standards are required to “give effect to an environment that is not harmful to health and well-

being,” and that this right has to be applied “uniformly throughout the Republic”. It is recognized

that South Africa is a developing country; the purpose of the setting standards is to ensure service

to all while complying with health and safety regulations without unnecessarily changing current

creative collection processed as long as they function well and deliver a service of acceptable

standards to all households. These National Domestic Waste Collection Standards are therefore

applicable to all domestic waste collection services throughout the country.

2.2.6 NATIONAL POLICY FOR PROVISION OF BASIC REFUSE REMOVAL SERVICE TO

INDIGENT HOUSEHOLDS, JUNE 2011

The purpose of the National Policy for Provision of Basic Refuse Removal Service to Indigent

Households is to ensure those poor (indigent) households have access to at least basic (essential)

refuse removal services from the concerned municipality. Meeting this purpose requires aligning

the National policy for Provision of Basic Refuse Removal Service to Indigent Households with

already existing key relevant legislation i.e. Indigent Policies for different municipalities, financial

management systems while being mindful of the need to ensure that there is uniformity when

dealing with various cases of indigent households.

2.2.7 KZN WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY (KZN-WMP) – FINAL VERSION 2003

This policy represents the efforts of the province to take on its responsibility as previously

prescribed in the ECA (Section 24, Act No. 73, 1998) to make regulations with respect to waste

management.

The general objectives are;

Registration of waste generators and handlers;

Access to information;

An equitable system of governance for generators and handlers with a view of eliminating illegal

practices.

The policy states that this includes the management of waste on site and only where necessary,

the transportation to suitable licensed landfill sites. With regards to hazardous and Health Care

Risk Waste, the policy states that it is important to identify the need for hazardous and waste

disposal sites and address issues like sighting and management “if the need exists”.

2.2.8 ORGANISED LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 52 OF 1997

The Organised local Government Act 52 of 1997 provides for the recognition of national and

provincial organisations representing the different categories of municipalities which determines


5

various procedures concerning local government, including procedures by which local government

may consult with national and provincial government.

2.2.9 MUNICIPAL STRUCTURES ACT 117 OF 1998

The main objective of the Municipal Structures Act 1117 of 1998 is to provide for the establishment

of municipalities in accordance with the requirements relating to categories and types of

municipality and to provide for an appropriate division of functions and powers between categories

of municipalities. It is one of a set of legislation that is aimed at the transformation of local

government into a more financially sustainable and performance orientated sphere of government.

The Act is aimed at creating the permanent structures mandated by the constitution which will

replace the transitional structures created by the Local Government transition Act. Municipalities

are categorised either as A, B or C depending on the level of development.

Chapter 65 sets out the functions and powers of the municipalities in accordance with the

Constitution.

2.2.10 MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS ACT NO 32 OF 2000

The Municipal Systems Act describes the core principles, mechanisms and processes that are

necessary to enable municipalities to move progressively towards the social and economic

upliftment of communities and ensure access to services that are affordable to all. Its focus is

primarily on the internal systems and administration of the municipality.

The Act enables the process of decentralisation of functions through assigning powers of general

competence to local Government. Municipal by-laws are regulated to achieve harmony with

national and provincial legislation.

As service authorities, municipalities remain responsible for the effective delivery of services and

must provide an appropriate policy and regulatory framework. This can be achieved through the

most appropriate service provider, ranging from internal departmental delivery to corporation and

joint ventures to private sector delivery options.

Performance management systems are to be developed to measure and evaluate performance in

priority areas, which are to be reported annually to citizens and other spheres of government.

The process to be followed in planning, drafting and adopting the Integrated Development Plan is

set out.

2.2.11 THE DEVELOPMENT FACILITATION ACT 67 OF 1995

The Development Facilitation Act 67 of 1995 sets out a planning and land development system,

which ensures that national, provincial and local government policies are implemented.

Section 28 describes the requirements for Land development Objectives, which must be

developed by each local authority. One of the objectives of Land Development is to create a new

system that encourages sustained utilisation of the environment, particularly with regard to the

environmental encouragement of developments.

Municipalities are encouraged to cooperate in order to develop the capacity of each municipality to

exercise its powers and duties and manage its affairs.

2.2.12 THE PHYSICAL PLANNING ACT 125 OF 1991


6

The objective of The Physical Planning Act 125 of 1991 is to provide for the division of the country

into regions and to promote regional development. Policy plans consist of broad guidelines for the

future physical development of the area and restrictions are placed on the use of land in the area

to which the plan relates. Local authorities are required to develop urban structure plans for their

areas of jurisdiction.

2.2.13 MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS ACT (ACT 32 OF 2000) SERVICE DELIVERY

The minimum requirements series consists of three pertinent documents that regulate activities

around the management of waste.

These include:

Minimum Requirements for the Handling Classification and Disposal of Hazardous waste;

Minimum Requirements for Waste Disposal by landfill;

Minimum Requirements for monitoring Waste Management Facilities

The Minimum Requirements for Waste Disposal by Landfill guides the process of site selection,

permitting, investigation, assessment and mitigation of impacts, landfill design, site preparation

operation, monitoring, rehabilitation and closure. Upon establishing a preferred site in accordance

with the above requirements a “section 20” permit is normally issued. This responsibility has now

been developed to the National Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) from DWA.

The Minimum Requirements for Waste Disposal by Landfill represents the definitive guideline for

the establishment of waste disposal sites under the Environmental Conservation Act. In terms of

the permitting requirements for waste disposal the procedure is covered in great detail in the

document. Particular attention must be paid to the permitting procedure, which must be followed to

the letter to avoid falling short of any of the requirements.

Minimum requirements for the Handling Classification and Disposal of Hazardous Waste looks at

the principles of good waste management. The document describes a system for the classification

of various waste types, treatment for various wastes, the hazard rating for any residues and the

prescribed disposal mechanisms.

2.2.14 NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT: AIR QUALITY ACT 39 OF 2004

The purpose of the National Environment Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004 is to reform the

law regulating air quality in order to protect the environment by providing reasonable measures for

the prevention of pollution and ecological degradation and for securing ecologically sustainable

development while promoting justifiable economic and social development, to provide for national

norms and standards regulating air quality monitoring, management and control by all spheres of

government; for specific quality measures; and for matters incidental thereto.

Part2 of Chapter 2 of the Act sets out national, provincial and local ambient air quality and

emission standards, chapter 3 institutional and planning matters, chapter 4 air quality management

measures (priority areas, Listing of activities resulting in atmospheric emissions, controlled

emitters, controlled fuels and other emitters).


7

Chapter 5 describes the procedures to apply for licenses for listed activities, while chapter 7

describes the offences and penalties for non-adherence.

2.2.15 MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS ACT (ACT 32 OF 2000): SERVICE DELIVERY

A Municipality must give effect to the provisions of the Constitution and give priority to the basic

need of the local community; promote the development of the local municipality; and ensure all

members of the local community have access to at least a 50 minimum level of basic municipal

services. Municipal services must be equitable and accessible. They must be provided in a manner

that is conducive to economic development, efficient and effective use of available resources and

the improvement of standards of quality over time. Furthermore, the municipal services must be

financially and environmentally sustainable and also be regularly reviewed with a view to

upgrading, extension and improvement.

The Act provides a broad requirement for service delivery (waste disposal) in local municipalities.

In terms of section 75 (1) of the Act a municipality must

Give priority to basic needs;

Promote local community development;

Provide a basic level of service for all community members;

These services must be:

Equitable and accessible;

Promote prudent economic and efficient use of municipal resources;

Sustainability (financially and economically)

Be subject to review and improvement.

Tariff policy regulated in section 74 of the above Act must apply:

All people must be treated equally in the application of tariffs;

The levy for the services must be in proportion to consumption of services;

Poor households should at least have basic services (investigate subsidies);

Tariffs must reflect the costs to provide the service ( capital, operating, maintenance,

administration and interest);

Tariffs must be financially sustainable;

Local economic development can be promoted by setting special charges for industrial and

commercial users;

Any cross subsidies must be fully disclosed;

Recycling and other principles of environmental management must be promoted for the

efficient, effective, and economical use of municipal resources;

Tariff policies may vary between different users provided these are not unfair or

discriminatory.

2.2.16 ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION PREVENTION ACT 45 OF 1965

The atmospheric Pollution Act of 1965 is not yet repealed and is added to the list of relevant

legislation applicable to waste management. The authorisations issued in terms of this Act will be

applicable until regulations have been promulgated in terms of the National Environment

Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004.

Part 2 of the Acts sets out the procedure for the permitting of Scheduled Processes, which

includes waste incineration processes. A registration certificate is a mandatory requirement and

the Act prohibits any person from carrying on the Scheduled Process unless that person is a

holder of the original certificate. A current registration certificate is granted after compliance with

the conditions of a provisional registration certificate and the requirements of the Department of

Environmental Affairs and Tourism to whom the power has been delegated. The current

registration certificate also is issued subject to conditions. These include the condition that all

appliances used for preventing or reducing to a minimum the escape into the atmosphere of

noxious or offensive gases shall be properly operated and maintained and that the best practice

means for achieving this are implemented.

Part3 of the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act provides for the control and regulation of smoke

pollution arising from any fuel-burning appliance.

Part4 of the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act (APPA) deals with dust control. Whenever dust

originating on any land in a dust controlled area is causing a nuisance to persons residing or

present in the vicinity of that land, the owner or occupier may be required to take the prescribed

steps or adopt the best practicable means for the abatement the dust.

2.2.17 NATIONAL WATER ACT 36 OF 1998

The National Water Act contains a number of provisions that impact on the waste management

including the disposing of waste in a manner, which detrimentally impacts on a water resource and

the discharge of waste into a water resource. The Act allows the minister to make regulations for:

Prescribing waste standards, which specify the quantity, quality and temperature of waste

that may be discharged or deposited into or allowed to enter a water resource.

Prescribe the outcome or effect, which must be achieved through management practices

for the treatment of waste before it is discharged or deposited into or allowed to enter a water

resource.

Requiring that waste discharged or deposited into or allowed to enter a water resource be

monitored and analysed according to prescribed mechanisms.

2.2.18 NATIONAL HEALTH ACT 61 OF 2003

The National Health Act of 2003 provides a framework for the structured uniform health system

within the Republic, taking into account the obligations imposed by the Constitution and the other

laws on the national, provincial and local governments with regard to health services; and to

provide for matters connected therewith.

Section 32 of Health Act (Act 61 of 2003) requires provincial Health MECs to assign environmental

health functions to district and metropolitan municipalities. The definition of these functions in the

Health Act includes environmental pollution control, waste management and water quality

monitoring.

As a schedule B function in terms of the constitution, municipalities are expected to continue with

the funding and provide the expanded definition of municipal health services (RSA 1996). The

assignment and delegation of additional environmental health and management functions has led

to recognition in the Health Act and the responsibility of the Provincial sphere to contribute towards

meeting the additional financial burden. Many district municipalities are having difficulty in

restructuring and implementing the new district level arrangements envisaged by the Health Act for

the financing and management of environmental health functions. Section 34 of the Health Act

makes a provision for transitional arrangements (RSA 2003) in which local municipalities are

required to continue providing the services they provided before the Act, and until such time as a

Service Level Agreement (SLA) in place. In a number of districts the EHS devolution process has

not yet been finalised.

District Municipalities cannot raise income from property rates and do not receive equitable share

finance for their given environmental health function. It follows that the Provincial Department of

Health is required, through an SLA to assess and make available the resources needed to perform

the required environmental health functions. Local municipalities who previously provided

environmental health services are expected to continue to provide the finances for these posts

which are required to be transferred to the District level. Additional posts to address newly

assigned and delegated functions need to be funded in terms of the Health Act through an SLA

which (a) describes the services; (b) determines the resources that must be made available by the

province and those by the municipality and (c) sets the performance and monitoring standards.

The National Act does not address the disposal of health care risk waste as such.

Draft regulations for the control of environmental conditions constituting a danger to health or a

nuisance were published in GNR21 of 14 January 2000. In terms of the proposed regulations,

registration is required for: concerns that to carry out a scheduled trade, including waste

incineration, waste disposal sites and waste collecting, sorting, treating or processing sites.

2.2.19 WHITE PAPER ON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (NOTICE 749 OF 1998)

The White Paper on Environmental Management was published in 1998. This policy sets out

governments objectives in relation to environmental management, how it intends to achieve its

objectives, and to guide government agencies and organs of state in developing strategies to meet

their objectives.


10

The policy document is an overarching policy framework that refers to all activities that impact on

the environment. The policy states that the government will allocate functions to the institutions

and spheres of government that can effectively achieve the objectives of sustainable development

and integrated environmental management. This would include the allocation of certain functions in

the municipal sphere of government.

Where appropriate, provincial and local government are to develop their own legislation and

implementation strategies to address specific needs and conditions within the framework of the

policy.

2.2.20 WHITE PAPER ON INTEGRATED POLLUTION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR

SOUTH AFRICA, NOTICE 227 OF 2000

The White Paper on Integrated Pollution and Waste Management was published in March 2000

and represents formal government policy regarding integrated pollution and waste management.

Integrated pollution and waste management is defined as a holistic and integrated system and

process of management aimed at pollution minimisation at source, managing the impact of

pollution and waste on the receiving environment and remediating damaged environments. Waste

management is to be implemented in a holistic and integrated manner and extend over the entire

waste cycle from the cradle to grave and will include the generation, storage, collection,

transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.

The overarching goal reflected in the policy is integrated pollution and waste management, with the

intention being to move away from fragmented and uncoordinated pollution control and waste

management as well as waste minimisation. Within this framework the following strategic goals

should be considered:

Effective institutional framework and legislation;

Pollution and waste minimisation, impact management and remediation;

Holistic and integrated planning where the intention is to develop mechanisms to ensure

that integrated pollution and waste management considerations are integrated into the

developments of government policies, strategies and programmes as well as all spatial and

economic development planning processes and in all economic activity.

The strategic mechanisms include the following:

The incorporation of integrated environmental management principles and methodologies in

spatial development planning as it relates to the pollution and waste management;

Making timeous and appropriate provision for adequate waste disposal facilities;

Developing management instruments and mechanisms for the integration of pollution and

waste management concerns in development planning and land allocation;

Developing appropriate and agreed indicators to measure performance for inclusion in EIPs

and EMPs as provided for in the National Environmental Management Act;

Participation and partnerships in integrated pollution and waste management governance;

Empowerment and education in integrated pollution and waste management governance;

Information management and International cooperation.

2.2.21 DWAF MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR LANDFILL, SECOND EDITION OF 1998

The minimum requirements provide applicable waste management standards or specifications that

must be met, as well as providing a point of departure against which environmentally acceptable

waste disposal practices can be assessed. The objectives of setting minimum requirements are to:

Prevent water pollution and ensure sustained fitness for use of South Africa‟s water

resources;

Attain and maintain minimum waste management standards in order to protect human

health and environment from the possible harmful effects caused by the handling , treatment,

storage and disposal of waste;

Administration and provision of a systematic and nationally uniform approach to the waste

disposal process;

Endeavour to make South African waste management practices globally acceptable;

Before a waste disposal site is issued, adherence to the minimum requirement conditions

will be required from the permit applicant. The Minimum Requirements promote the hierarchical

approach to waste management, as well as a holistic approach to the environment.

2.2.22 NATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AND ACTION PLANS

The overall objective of this strategy is to reduce the generation of waste and the environmental

impact of all forms of waste and thereby ensure that the socio economic development of South

Africa, the health of the people and the quality of its environmental resources are no longer

adversely affected by uncontrolled and uncoordinated waste management. The internationally

accepted waste hierarchical approach was adopted for waste prevention / minimisation,

recycle/reuse, treatment and finally disposal.

The strategy outlines the functions and responsibilities of the three levels of government and

where possible, firm plans and targets are specified. During the development of a strategy a

number of priority strategic initiatives were identified which were categorised into short term (by the

year 2004), medium term (by the year 2008), and a long term (by the year 2012) initiatives. Action

plans have been developed for the short term initiatives for integrated waste management

planning, a waste information system, waste minimisation and recycling, general waste collection,

waste treatment and disposal and capacity building, education, awareness and communication. A

logical framework analysis approach was adopted to develop the Action plans that analysed the

problems, stakeholders and the risks to successful implementation followed by the development of

outputs, activities, inputs and assumptions as well as proposed allocation of functions, roles, and

responsibilities of the three levels of government .

The roles and responsibilities in terms of the NWMS for local government include:

Integrated waste management planning: local government will be responsible for the

compilation of general waste management plans for the submission of provincial government.

Waste Information System: local government to be responsible for data collection.

Waste minimisation: Local government will implement and enforce appropriate national

waste minimisation initiatives and promote the development of voluntary partnerships with industry.

Recycling: Local government to establish recycling centres and/or facilitate community

initiatives.


12

Waste collection and transportation: local government to improve service delivery. Private

public partnerships to assist service delivery are encouraged.

Waste Disposal: local government is to take responsibility for the establishment and

management of landfill sites, and to promote development of regionally based facilities.

Formalising and controlling of scavenging is the responsibility of the permit holder.

2.2.23 POLOKWANE WASTE SUMMIT DECLARATION

In September 2001 a national waste summit was held at Polokwane in the Northern Province. It

was attended by all stakeholder groupings in the waste field in order to jointly chart a way forward

in terms of waste management of all waste. I.e. domestic, commercial and industrial:

Vision - To implement a waste management system, which contributes to sustainable development

and a measurable improvement in the quality of life by harnessing the energy and commitment of

all South Africans to the effective reduction of all waste?

Goals – To reduce waste generation and disposal by 25% and 50% respectively by 2012 and

develop a plan for zero waste by 2022.

The Polokwane declaration has significant implications for local government and other

stakeholders to engage more closely toward the achievement of this goal in a realistic and

particular manner. The key actions in the Polokwane Declaration that impact on local government

include the following:

Implement of the NWMS;

Develop and implement legislative and regulatory framework;

Waste reduction and recycling;

Develop waste information and monitoring systems.

Year 1996 2001 2011

Unemployment Rates 61,9% 40,6% 31,0%

Although the unemployment rate of 31% is still very high, the trends show that there has been an

improvement from 1996 to 2011 on the rate of unemployment. Hence more people have improved

economically.

In terms of average household income, in 2001 the average was R59 479-00 as compared to

R121 177-00 (2001 and 2011 population censuses, Statistics South Africa)

The official unemployment rate was 31% as compared to the youth unemployment rate of 40, 7

2.10.2 FLEET FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT

2.10.2.1 FLEET

The vehicles utilised by the uMhlathuze Municipality for waste management can be referred to

in Appendix B.

There are challenges of fleet maintenance which often affect the operations as repairs are not

attended to timelessly. Besides, there is no arrangement to standby vehicles in case of break

down. Based on the assessment, it has been discovered that the minimum amount of vehicles

used to manage waste could have a negative impact on the mechanical side of the equipment.

2.10.3 EQUIPMENT / MATERIAL

Type of waste Equipment

Domestic Waste Plastic bags, Wheelie bins, Plastic bags, Skips, Refuse trucks

Commercial waste Skips, Street bins, Refuse trucks, Pole bins, Wheelie bins

Industrial waste Skips, Refuse trucks, Grab trucks, Wheelie bins

Institutions waste e.g. Hotels, Bread & Breakfast, Shopping malls, Community halls, Schools, Industries, Hospitals, The Harbour, Banks, Diesel depot, Taxi ranks

Skips, Wheelie bins, Refuse trucks, Refuse bags, Pole bins

Illegal waste Refuse bags, Grab trucks, Refuse trucks

Garden waste Refuse bags, Refuse trucks

Street waste Refuse bags, Refuse trucks, Pole bins

See photos of skips and wheelie bins below:


46

See the list of skips in Appendix C

Street bins are also utilized as collection points in urban areas

Street bins in Alton

2.10.4 LANDFILLS AND TRANSFER STATIONS

In terms of ownership of equipment, the Regional Landfill at eMpangeni acquires the equipment

through tendering or hiring. Its compaction rate is very poor hence the space is reduced

drastically. Permission licence is granted to recyclers at a cost of R2000.00 which could improve

the situation and space.

A weighbridge which records the weight of the waste on a daily basis is also installed at landfill.

This helps in keeping records of waste and also in monitoring targets set by the municipality in

minimising the amount of waste generated.


47

See photos of the Regional Landfill:

Regional Landfill

Regional landfill weighbridge

The transfer station at Alton is also used as a recycle centre. A private company, Wild Lands

Conservation Trust was appointed through tendering process. Wild Lands collect recyclable

waste from the communities while other recyclers transport their own product to the station. Wild

Lands have employed 30 people in different categories. There are 6 Permanent and 6 Temporal

on site personnel, 6 Collection team also Permanent, 7 Facilitators and 3 Assistant facilitators

and 2 on Data management and coordination. This station separate waste in the following

categories:

Mixed Paper

K4

PET

HDPE

Magazine

White Paper

News Paper

Plastics

Cans

Tetrapak

Glass/Bottle

Tires

There are 495 “Wastepreneurs” around uMhlathuze municipal area involved in the project each

working on individual bases.

2.10.5 WASTE MINIMISATION

There are two Recycling centres/Material Recovery facilities (MRF), they are in Meerensee

suburb and Essenwood. The waste is separated in yellow bags supplied by the Municipality.

Garden refuse is also used for the creation of composite sites especially in rural tribal areas and

farms.

2.10.6 FINANCE

The main challenge is that there are areas whereby rates and tariffs cannot be imposed

especially in rural areas while waste services are being rendered to these communities. This

situation affects the financial status of the municipality as well as effective service delivery.

(Tariff rates are attached in Appendix D)

SECTION 3

3. TRENDS AND FORCASTS


50

Informed decisions and effective planning are based on sound data and inputs. The following

demographic, social and economic data; and waste generation were taken into consideration.

3.1. POPULATION PROJECTIONS

The population within the uMhlathuze Local Municipality was 334 459 according to 2011

population census with a growth rate of 1,45%.Assuming a closed population, a growth of

1.45% per annum will be assumed. Another range of projections assuming a population growth

of 2.0% per annum will be generated assuming that at the rate of growth of the City of

uMhlathuze, many people will be seeking work in this area.

3.2 ECONOMIC GROWTH

According to the latest indicators, the seasonally adjusted estimate of the real GDP at market

prices for the last two quarters in 2014 were 0.5%(adjusted from 0.6%) and in the second

quarter and 1.45% in the third quarter for South Africa as a whole. The negative growth rates

translate into a decrease in waste generation growth rate, and the positive growth rates

translate into an increase in waste generation growth rate. Hence the trend of the 2014

indicators could indicate increase in the waste generation growth rate for South Africa.

However, the increase of the population of higher income groups could also result in an

increase of waste generation growth rate.

The general trend is for waste generation to increase with a dramatic economic growth or

increase in household income. However, there is no direct correlation as many variables could

occur.

For uMhlathuze local municipality, in terms of average household income; in 2001 the average

was R59 479, 00 as compared to R121 177, 00 in 2011.(2001 and 2011 population census,

Statistics South Africa)This trend in household income points to increase in waste generation

growth rate and hence the focus on waste disposal ,waste minimisation and recycling.

3.3 WASTE GENERATED IN 2014

The waste generation figures in 2014 are given below in Table 5 per month and per day. The

figures for 2014 are our base year figures on which projections will be based and 2011

population figures are our base year for population projections.

3.4 WASTE GENERATION FORECASTS ESTIMATES

Waste generation growth estimates should take into consideration the economic growth,

population wealth as well as the population growth rate. Hence a zero population size increase

but a fast growing economy will result in a waste generation growth and vice versa.

The estimated waste generation models will give a prediction until the year 2025.Record

keeping of tonnages of waste being disposed of at the uThungulu Regional landfill is done as it

is equipped with weighbridge to record accurate records of waste collected and disposed of.

According to the records, the amount of waste generated within the municipal area in 2014 is

43,528,780 kgs .This includes all types of waste as in table 3.3 Hence the average amount

generated per month in 2014 was 3627398 kg .The average waste generated per day was 120

913 per day. Hence the average waste generated per person per day in 2014 is 0.35 kg.

The growth rate used was applied using per Capita Waste Generation Figures as defined in the

Minimum Requirements Documents.

5. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

One of the key challenges of the uMhlathuze Local Municipality is limited access to basic

household community services which include waste removal, water, electricity, sanitation and

social amenities. These were the services identified by communities according to 2014/2015

IDP.

One of the long term visions of the Municipality is to improve quality of Citizens‟ health and

commitment to sustainable environment. Efficient and effective waste management plays a big

part in the success of those two long term visions.

These visions are realigned with the Millennium Development Goals which is Environmental

sustainability, the national outcomes of Environmental sustainability and Safe and Healthy living

environment.

These visions are also realigned with the provincial key priorities which are Health and

Environmental Protection. While also identified in Back to Basics Programme.

In line with the gaps and needs identified, Goals and Objectives will be structured according to

government„s strategy of waste minimisation. The official hierarchy adopted by international

body on Waste Management Strategy is as follows:

5.1DISPOSAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

New infrastructure was identified and needed legalisation.

5.2 WASTE COLLECTION INFRASTRUCTURE

Shortage of fleet, skips in rural areas, recycling centres, transfer stations and receptacle

placement were identified. Improvement in managing the Regional Landfill was also discussed.

Any needed changes in route planning were also identified.

5.3 INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY AND HUMAN RESOURCE

The improvement of the IWMP organisation structure was discussed and alternative

improvements were identified.

5.4 FINANCIAL RESOURCES

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Cleaner Production Prevention

Minimisation

Recycling Re-use

Recovery

Composting

Disposal Landfill


60

Any financial requirements were identified and some alternatives for funding.

5.5 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION The improvements of the Waste Information System and Record keeping were identified

5.6 ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES This involves identification of illegal dumping sites, penalties, various interventions to address

illegal dumping, timely clean up and campaigns on education on illegal dumping. The need for

the By-Law on illegal dumping was realised

5.7 WASTE MINIMISATION

This involves identifying waste minimisation strategies e.g. recycling, setting up collection points, decomposition and awareness and education campaigns. To realign IWMP with Climate change strategy.

This City of uMhlathuze is currently doing s feasibility study on Alternative Treatment of Waste,

as part of Waste Diversion of Waste away from Landfill site.

The preliminary report is already available, but final report is likely to be finalised in August

2016. This should give clear way forward and time frames in terms of waste minimisation.

Budget for implementation of the plan will be reflected in a report which once submitted by

Service Provider will then be tabled to Council.

6.3 MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

6.3.1 AREAS TO MONITOR

The goal of monitoring this plan is to effectively monitor and report on performance within the waste

functions. Every goal in the implementation plan is realigned to activities/actions with SMART targets

and timeframe. (Most of these are estimated; hence they should be reassessed again).

Performance and development indicators should be developed during operational planning stage for

the two divisions of Waste Management

The monitoring process should focus on short and long terms goals.

The areas to monitor could include:

Finance-Budget allocations, Tariffs

Human Resource-Vacancies and training needs

Maintenance of fleet

Legislation-amendments, new legislation ,by –laws

Customer satisfaction through surveys

Status of illegal dumping in terms of costs and reduction

Waste minimisation programmes and projects

Achieved targets

Annual reports on collection reports

Reports on reuse and recycling including employment records

Registration and licencing of waste disposal facilities

Auditing of waste disposal facilities

Hazardous waste disposal

Managing disposal facilities

Education campaigns on Waste Management

6.3.2 EVALUATION AND REVIEW OF IWMP

The IWMP should be reviewed on an on-going basis. The IWMP is realigned with the IDP Hence its

review process should be realigned with the IDP process.

Ideally, IWMP should be reviewed every 5 years although some institutions review it annually.

6.4 CONCLUSION

Generally the waste management process is an integrated process which involves many

stakeholders who include private households, different types of businesses, institutions and

government officials.

Its costs are also very high considering the spectrum of customers serviced. Hence forming

partnerships is necessary in order to share resources and start businesses which could reduce waste

like recycling, obeying the law. Examples of obeying the law include the public not dumping illegally.

Secondly, the legal framework supports the IWMP. On top of the policy, the municipality needs to

reinforce by-laws which also allow punitive measures.


74

In case of uMhlathuze Local Municipality, considering the seriousness of illegal dumbing, there is

urgency to put in place this by-law. It should also be enforced by including prosecution in cases of

non-compliance.

Thirdly, education and awareness campaigns about illegal dumping and littering need to be stepped

up drastically .This education could start in all primary schools in the uThungulu District Municipality

at a very early age. Information transfer could also be applied e.g. display boards, local radio stations,

local newspapers and flyers. Council rewards could also be applied and close monitoring of illegal

dumping by 24 hour camera. Fourthly, the municipality should provide enabling environment through

ensuring safety at the drop-off centres, call centre operated at 24/7 and providing clearly marked

recycle bins for kerb side collection of separated material at source waste.

Roles and responsibilities of all relevant stakeholders should be clearly defined. These roles and

responsibilities are directly based on the requirements of the Constitution, other relevant legislation

and IWM policy. Since IWMP is an integrated strategy it should include a number of departments

directly and indirectly connected to uMhlathuze waste department.

privately owned premises to which the public has access, must within a reasonable time

after any litter has been discarded, dumped or left behind, remove such litter or cause it to

of time before the litter becomes a nuisance or cause for complaint.

19. Prohibition of dumping and abandoning articles

(1) No may person may, without authorisation from the council, deposit or permit the

(5) Any article, other than a motor vehicle deemed to have been abandoned in terms of

section 114 of the Road Traffic Act, 1989 (Act No. 29 of 1989), which, in the light of such

its being abandoned or left in that place; or


116

section 101 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) or any

other legislation, an authorised official may –

(a) to the extent that access to premises does not fall within the scope of section 101

of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) or any other

legislation, if he or she has reasonable grounds to suspect that there is an

environmental emergency and that any delay in obtaining a search warrant will

warrant, enter and search any premises associated with the emergency: Provided

that the entry and search be conducted in conformity with the requirements of the

Bill of Rights and any other law;

person in charge of it, and where such consent is not obtained, may stop and

inspect a vehicle or other mode of conveyance pursuant to a warrant being issued.

(2) Where, in the opinion of the authorised official, any inspection of a vehicle as

contemplated in these By-laws, gives rise to the reasonable apprehension that the

presence of waste in or on that vehicle is a serious and immediate danger to human health

or to the environment, the authorised official may seize that vehicle in order to prevent, or

where that is impossible, to mitigate harm to human health or damage to the environment.

(3) In the event of the seizure of any vehicle under subsection (2), the council must –

may recover any reasonable expenditure from the person who failed to act as directed.

23. Complaints

Any person may lodge a complaint with an authorised official, or through any other channel

established by the council, that any other person is causing harm to human health or damage to

the environment by contravening the provisions of these By-laws, in which event the authorised

unreasonable, must investigate the complaint and must, if he or she is satisfied that such harm or

damage is or is likely to be caused, issue an enforcement notice.

24. Representations

(1) Any affected person may make representations to the council, or a designated committee

or internal functionary of the council to which the council has delegated its powers, in the

internal functionary condones the late lodging of the representation.

(4) The council, or designated committee or internal functionary must duly consider the

representations and any response thereto by an authorised official or any other person, if

there be such a response, and may, if deemed necessary, conduct any further

investigations to verify the facts. If the council, or designated committee or internal

functionary should conduct any such further investigations, the results of such investigation

must be made available to the affected person, who must be given an opportunity to make

a further response if he or she so wishes, and the council, or designated committee or

internal functionary must also consider such further response.

(5) After the council, or designated committee or internal functionary, is satisfied that the

the council, or designated committee or internal functionary, must inform the affected

person that he or she may elect to be tried in court, or must discharge the obligations set

out in the enforcement notice.

her obligations under the enforcement notice within the prescribed manner and time.

(9) If the affected person lodges a representation or elects to be tried in court, any

requirement in terms of section 22(2) of these By-laws requiring compliance with an

enforcement notice, may be suspended unless, in the opinion of the council, the affected

person has caused an environmental emergency in which event and without derogation

from any right that the affected person may have, or may in future have, under any law, to

any relief of whatever nature, the affected person must immediately comply with any such

requirement on being ordered by the council to do so.

(10) If there is an environmental emergency and if the affected person, despite receiving a

lawful order made in terms of subsection (9), fails to comply with such an order, the council

may itself cause the environmental emergency to be stopped, reversed or abated, in which

event the council may institute civil proceedings for the recovery of any reasonable and

necessary expenditure which it has incurred or may incur in effecting such a stoppage,

reversal or abatement.
