INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
THIRD GENERATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
JPCE (PTY) Ltd has been appointed by the Swartland Municipality to assist in the development of their third generation Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP), which will replace the second generation plan of 2012 once approved.
The terms of reference for the development of the third generation IWMP are to comply with the requirements as set out in the National Environment Management: Waste Act (Act no. 59 of 2008) which is summarised as follows:
(a) A situation analysis (b) Within the domain of the Department, provincial department or municipality, set out how that Department, provincial department or municipality intends – i. To give effect, in respect of waste management, to Chapter 3 of the National Environmental Management Act; ii. To give effect to the objects of this Act; iii. To identify and address the negative impact of poor waste management practices on health and the environment; iv. To provide for the implementation of waste minimisation, reuse, recycling and recovery targets and initiatives; v. In the case of a municipal IWMP, to address the delivery of waste management services to residential premises; vi. To implement the Republic’s obligations in respect of any relevant international agreements; vii. To give effect to best environmental practice in respect of waste management; (c) Within the domain of the Department or provincial department, set out how the Department or provincial department intends to identify the measures that are required and that are to be implemented to support municipalities to give effect to the objects of this Act; (d) Set out the priorities and objectives of the Department, provincial department or municipality in respect of waste management; (e) Establish targets for the collection, minimisation, re-use and recycling of waste; (f) Set out the approach of the Department, provincial department or municipality to the planning of any new facilities for disposal and decommissioning of existing waste disposal facilities; (g) Indicate the financial resources that are required to give effect to the plan; (h) Describe how the Department, provincial department or municipality intends to give effect to its IWMP; and (i) Comply with the requirements prescribed by the Minister.
The development also takes into the recommendations made by the Department: Environmental Affairs & Development Planning (D:EA&DP) in their review of the second generation IWMP.
The scope of this local municipal IWMP includes an investigation into the current state of the solid waste management system of the Swartland Local Municipality and provides the overview thereof. The status quo is evaluated in order to determine the gaps and needs of the system. The scope also includes goals and objectives to improve the system where required, but is limited to implementation on the local authority level.
The waste types measured and discussed are the following:
- Domestic waste - Garden waste - Building waste - Household hazardous waste - Hazardous waste (including health care risk waste)
1 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The IWMP development was started via a meeting with the Swartland Municipality, consultants and the D:EA&DP. Follow-up meetings were help as well as telephonic communication in order to acquire the required information and input.
The waste characterisation was conducted by Waste Gro (General waste survey) and Ms A. Naudé (Hazardous waste survey). The general waste survey indicate results obtained over the span of an entire year. The hazardous waste study included the identification of generators and site visits to obtain required information as well as telephonic communication. Mr. Bruwer, Manager: Cleansing Services and Waste Management Officer of the Swartland Municipality provided the information from the municipal system.
The main goals of the IWMP are as listed below. These goals are aligned with the Western Cape IWMP, the National Waste Management Strategy, the National Development Plan, the Swartland Spatial Development Framework and Integrated Development Plans. The achievement of the main goals will be through the planned implementation of actions as detailed in Chapter 6 of the IWMP.
Goal 1: Public Awareness and Education Goal 2: Waste Quantification & Information Goal 3: Effective Solid Waste Service Delivery Goal 4: Promote and Ensure Waste Minimisation Goal 5: Improve Regulatory Compliance Goal 6: Ensure the Safe and Integrated Management of Hazardous Waste Goal 7: Ensure Sound Budgeting for Integrated Waste Management
The geographic area of study includes the extent of the Swartland Municipality, with a footprint of approximately 3690.5km2. The Swartland Municipality was established in December 2000 through the amalgamation of the former municipalities and towns of Malmesbury, Moorreesburg, Darling, Yzerfontein, Riebeek-West, Riebeek- Kasteel, Chatsworth, Riverlands, Kalbaskraal, Abbotsdale and Koringberg.
STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION
The Assessment Report of the previous, 2nd Generation IWMP formed the first consultation with authorities as it was issued by the D:EA&DP. The D:EA&DP also attended the inception meeting for the 3rd Generation IWMP development and provided guidance and input regarding the required information and processes that need to be followed. The draft IWMP was also submitted directly to the D:EA&DP for review before the IWMP is presented to Council for approval. Their review is attached as Annexure 8. After Council has approved the IWMP, the final version of the document must be delivered to the D:EA&DP.
The Swartland IDP is also in development and, with the IWMP being a sectorial plan which will be included in the IDP, the IWMP public participation will tied in with that of the IDP. As the proposed action/implementation items of the IWMP will be known during the development of the IDP, these items and the required latest information from the IWMP will be included in the IDP where appropriate.
All comments and input received regarding the IWMP will be considered, included and the draft IWMP and altered if required. This will enable the finalisation of IWMP.
STATUS QUO
The status quo assessment entails the situational analysis of the Swartland Municipality, which includes amongst others, the applicable legislation, population description, waste types and quantities generated and waste management services overview.
The applicable legislation discussed in the IWMP consists of the following:
- Constitution of the Republic of South Africa - National Environmental Management Act - Environment Conservation Act, 1989 (Act NO. 73 of 1989) - The Western Cape Health Care Waste Management Amendment Act - National Water Act (Act no. 36 of 1998) - National Environment Management: Air Quality Act 2004 (Act no. 39 of 2004)
2 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
- National Waste Management Strategy (2011) - White Paper on Education and Training (1995) - The Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000) - The Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act no. 117 of 1998) - National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act no. 59 of 2008) (“The Waste Act”) - National Policy for the Provision of Basic Refuse Removal Services to Indigent Households, Government Notice 34385, 22 June 2011 - White paper: policy on pollution prevention, waste minimisation, impact management and remediation (March 2000) - The Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (March 2014) - The OneCape 2040 - Western Cape Provincial Strategic Plan (2014 – 2019) - WC Green Economy Strategy Framework - The Basel Convention - The Montreal Protocol - The Rotterdam Convention - The Stockholm Convention - Municipal By-laws
It was found that the Swartland Municipal Solid Waste By-law is sufficiently comprehensive and in line with other legislation. No review of this by-law is currently taking place nor is a review recommended at this stage.
DEMOGRAPHICS
The demographics and related statistics were obtained from Statistics SA and, with permission by D:EA&DP, the Western Cape Population Projections: 2011 – 2040, March 2014, by PwC.
The 2011 Census figures indicate that the Swartland Municipality had a total population of 113 769 people with a 4.56% annual population growth rate since the 2001 Census. The abovementioned population projections report indicates that the 2016 Swartland population stands at 121 898 people, which is 28.89% of the total West Coast District 2016 population (421 929) and 1.97% of the total Western Cape Province 2016 population (6 195 138).
The majority of the population resides in and around Malmesbury (35%), followed by rural areas (28%). The other two larger population hubs are the towns of Moorreesburg (12%) and Darling (9%). The total average population density for the whole of Swartland is 31 persons per km2.
WASTE CLASSIFICATION
With reference to the Waste Act, National Norms and Standards for Disposal of Waste to Landfill as well as Assessment of Waste for Landfill Disposal, 23 August 2013, the only types of waste allowed for disposal at the Swartland disposal facilities are general or Type 2, 3 and 4 wastes. No Swartland municipal facilities are allowed to accept hazardous or Type 1 wastes for disposal.
Accurate quantities for general waste were obtained from the Highlands landfill weighbridge readings as all household waste is disposed at this facility. Waste calculator quantities of waste that is not weighed at Highlands and disposed at the other facilities (garden waste and building rubble) were used.
General Waste characterisation
Wastegro, operational contractor at the Highlands Landfill and recycler, completed a waste characterisation study over the length of one year. The study started in March 2016 and is representative of waste generated during all seasons of the year. The results are shown below and used for the purpose of the IWMP.
The samples were taken from black bags that were put out for collection. The main categories for the results are split into Organics, Recyclables and Non-recyclables.
The combined results of the characterisation study are shown below. These include results from March, May, July, September and November 2016 as well as January 2017. The separate results of each sampling round can be found in Annexure 4.

General Waste quantities
The weighbridge figures from the Highlands landfill, with the waste calculator data from the Darling, Moorreesburg and Riebeeck West disposal facilities added, yield a total of 33 583 tonnes of waste per annum, before measured diversion. This total would then be the best estimate of waste generated in the Swartland Municipal area.
From these totals it was then possible to calculate the waste generation rates per capita according to the available statistics on population income groups. The results were as follows:
Income group kg/person/day Very Low & Low 0.41 Middle 0.80 High & Very High 1.29
Hazardous waste
Ms A. Naudé was appointed as sub-consultant and conducted the hazardous waste study throughout the Swartland Municipal area.

Waste from waste management facilities
Household hazardous waste
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is not a priority identified by the municipality. The public is probably also not requesting a special service for HHW. It is recommended to provide drop-off areas for HHW and appoint contractors to transport and dispose the received HHW in the required manner.
EXISTING WASTE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE, SYSTEMS AND PRACTICES
Organisational structure
Solid waste management or cleansing services for the Swartland Municipality falls under civil engineering services, of whom the director is Mr A. Botha. The manager of cleansing services, which entails refuse collection, street cleansing, recycling and disposal, is Mr F. Bruwer.
Mr F. Bruwer was appointed as waste management officer (WMO) through Council resolution as per the requirements set in the Waste Act and he assumes the above listed responsibilities. Refer to Annexure 2 for the Council decision that was taken on 23 January 2013.
The refuse removal, street cleansing and recycling teams are led by the Superintendent, A Siebritz for the Malmesbury area and surrounds as well as by the Senior Foreman, J Jansen for the remainder of Swartland.
These teams consist of a total of:
- 10 Senior Supervisor/Truck Drivers - 5 Machine Operators - 44 General Workers - 5 Gate Controllers
The organisational structure is sufficient to effectively deliver the current required solid waste services in Swartland. There is only one vacancy in the general worker team in Moorreesburg. This vacancy needs to be filled. Additional staff will be required as the towns expand and new developments are established.
Collection and cleansing services
A different calendar is developed for each of the three main collection areas. These are divided and displayed as follows:
- Malmesbury, Riebeeck Kasteel and Riebeeck West
5 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
- Moorreesburg and Koringberg - Darling and Yzerfontein
The additional information is about collection times, allowable volumes to be put out for collection, allowable types of waste for collection, business waste collections and disposal site operating hours. Refer to Annexure 3 for the calendars that are distributed, displaying the waste collection schedules and the additional information.
Street cleansing is done by private contractors in Malmesbury, Riebeeck West, Riebeeck Kasteel, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal. Municipal workers do cleansing in the other areas.
Levels of Service
Both bin and bag collection takes place, depending on area. Weekly waste collection takes place in residential areas and twice weekly for commercial areas with businesses producing food waste. The reported service levels are as follows:
Service area Door to door bin Door to door black Waste skips % for area collection bags Residential: High income 5% 95% 100% Residential: Low income 1% 97% 2% 100% Residential: Informal 70% 30% 100% Business/Commercial 40% 58% 2% 100%
The above information shows waste collection services are available to all formal and informal households.
Not included in the above are farms. It is not feasible for the Municipality to deliver door-to-door waste collection services to farms due to the large transport distances and remote residence locations. Only farms located on collection routes are serviced. Farmers buy coupons at the municipality, which they present when disposing their waste at the available facilities. There are a total of 8 388 registered indigent households in the Municipality and 100% of these also receive waste collection services as reported.
Recycling statistics
The available recycling statistics were obtained from the Highlands MRF, operated by Wastegro.

Awareness & Education
The Swartland Municipality conducts the following public awareness campaigns:
- Placement of 6 cubic meter bins in communities where illegal dumping is a problem. - Placement of 27 igloos at schools for recycling and organising payment for the schools. - Our public awareness has been upgraded by 20 000 pamphlets "what is the impact of refuse on your environment". - 19 Advertising boards (4m x 3m) throughout Swartland Municipality were placed to promote recycling. - Awareness prints on all public refuse bins to promote, reduce, re-use and recycle. - This recycling initiative and other town cleaning news are promoted to the community via quarterly newsletter. - The Greenest Municipality Competition is promoted on all municipal letterheads. - "Keep our town clean" car licence discs are distributed at schools and garages by traffic department. - Door to door campaigning in communities where illegal dumping is observed. - Assisting clean-up programmes at schools and the community by providing co-ordination, transport, bags, refreshments. - Currently SM together with TEDCOR is busy with a roadshow in 11 towns to promote recycling + cleaner environment.
Waste disposal facilities
The disposal facilities of the Swartland Municipality that are discussed in the IWMP are the following:
Operating landfills:
Darling Landfill Highlands Landfill Moorreesburg Landfill Riebeeck West Landfill
Closed landfills:
Koringberg Landfill Riebeeck Kasteel Landfill Yzerfontein Landfill
Drop-offs/Transfer Stations:
Chatsworth Drop-off Kalbaskraal Drop-off Koringberg Drop-off Moorreesburg Drop-off Riebeeck Kasteel Drop-off Riebeeck West Drop-off Highlands MRF
Economics and Financing
The income and expenses of the solid waste department have been reviewed. The operations are running a profit, but the funding for requested projects are not always made available. The latest calculated cost for disposal for the Swartland Municipality equals R124.36 per tonne.
Gaps and Needs
From the status quo evaluation, the gaps and needs were identified. These are discussed in chapter 4 under the following categories:
Legislation Waste generation quantities Collection needs Waste transportation and waste transfer needs

SWARTLAND MUNICIPALITY
INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
THIRD GENERATION
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 TERMS OF REFERENCE
JPCE (Pty) Ltd has been appointed by the Swartland Municipality in the West Coast District of the Western Cape Province to assist in developing their third generation Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP). The second generation IWMP was developed in 2012 and approved by Council on 31 May 2012. This third version IWMP will be developed during 2016 and will replace the May 2012, second generation IWMP after obtaining Council approval.
The terms of reference for this development are to source the required information, interpret the relevant data and plan accordingly in order to complete the IWMP in terms of the requirements as set out in the National Environment Management: Waste Act (Act no. 59 of 2008) and the contents listed below as required by the Department: Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (D:EA&DP).

The IWMP content requirements further detailed by the D:EA&DP IWMP guideline table of contents are as follows. Only the main headings are shown here. Refer to Annexure 1 for the entire table. This IWMP was developed to contain all the required information, but does not follow the layout of the guideline exactly:
- Introduction and background information to the IWMP - Stakeholder participation, consultation, education & outreach - Status Quo: o Legislation o Waste classification o Waste types, quantities and characteristics o Levels of service within waste generation areas o Existing waste management structure, systems and practices o Demographics o Economics & financing of waste management practices - Gaps and needs assessment, targets, objectives and policies - Implementation and strategy plan - Monitoring and review - References - Appendices
The second generation Swartland May 2012 IWMP was evaluated and commented on by the D:EA&DP as follows:
- The introduction and general description requires reference to recommendations made in the assessment report. - In terms of strategic linkages, the IWMP must make reference to the municipal SDF - The plan must show the link with the IDP and what will be incorporated into the IDP - The IWMP must be aligned to the Western Cape IWMP and the National Waste Management Strategy of 2011. - Public participation: The IWMP must follow a public participation process. - The latest solid waste legislation must be included in the IWMP. - The latest demographic information must be used from Census 2011. - The IWMP must indicate the level of free basic services and how tariffs are determined. - The IWMP must indicate how the Municipality co-ordinate services and to how many residences. An overview of the status of all waste management facilities should be included in the plan. - An updated status of waste management licences for all waste facilities should be included in the IWMP. - A waste characterisation study is advised. - The organisational structure needs to be included in the IWMP. - The IWMP must indicate how the Municipality intend to implement waste awareness and education. - Goals and objectives need to stem from identified gaps and indicate the financial and human resources required. - A monitoring and review programme must be established.
This IWMP revision aims to address the requirements listed in the D:EA&DP evaluation report as well.
1.2 BACKGROUND
The IWMP is a statutory requirement of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008) that has been promulgated and came into effect on 1 July 2009 and has as its goal the transformation of the current methodology of waste management, i.e. mostly collection and disposal, to a sustainable practice focussing on waste avoidance and environmental sustainability. Implementation of this IWMP will be through municipal by-laws and in accordance with an implementation schedule.
17 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The Swartland Municipality developed their first generation IWMP in 2005 which was replaced by the second generation IWMP in 2012. This IWMP is the third generation and will replace the 2012 IWMP.
The development of the IWMP is necessary as it is an integral tool to identify current needs and act as a guide towards sustainable waste management. With regular updates of this document the changing needs as well as progress in the waste management field can be tracked and strategies adapted accordingly. It also provides a framework for budgeting purposes. The IWMP must be incorporated as part of each Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP), but is submitted as a separate document. The IWMP also shows alignment of its goals with the Western Cape IWMP and the National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS).
There is increasing pressure on government, the public and industry to be more environmentally responsible especially in terms of solid waste generation and management. Making waste disposal priority can be seen as archaic planning and is not sustainable as disposal airspace is becoming limited and the establishment of new disposal facilities are becoming increasingly difficult due to the unavailability of suitable land. Establishing new disposal facilities are also increasingly expensive due to the design and construction requirements in order to safely dispose the waste to land. Although the eradication of the practice of waste disposal is currently not possible, the IWMP aims to identify ways on how to decrease disposal and move towards being an environmentally responsible society.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE IWMP
The scope of this local municipal IWMP includes an investigation into the current state of the solid waste management system of the Swartland Local Municipality and provides the overview thereof. This investigation aims to include all the various aspects of the solid waste management system which ranges from legislation, waste types and generation, waste facilities and infrastructure to financing and all other details as listed under the terms of reference above.
The status quo is evaluated in order to determine the gaps and needs of the system. The scope also includes goals and objectives to improve the system where required, but is limited to implementation on the local authority level. The implementation items in order to improve the waste management system and to achieve goals are coupled with a monitoring and review programme to ensure that the IWMP is up to date and is implemented.
The waste types measured and discussed are the following:
- Domestic waste - Garden waste - Building waste - Household hazardous waste - Hazardous waste (including health care risk waste)
The sources of the above waste types are also discussed and include the following:
- Residential areas - Businesses - Industry - Farms - Waste as a result of illegal dumping - Street cleansing waste
1.4 METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH TO THE IWMP
The planning phase of the third generation IWMP included the following:
A project meeting was held at the Swartland Municipal offices in Malmesbury on 7 April 2016, which was attended by the consultants (Ms A. Naudé and Mr W. Meyers), Ms T. Luyt and Mr D. Gilbert from the D:EA&DP, Mr H. Baumgarten (operational contractor of the Highlands waste facility) and Mr F. Bruwer solid waste manager of the Swartland Municipality. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the scope of the project and the updating of the IWMP to the 3rd generation. The minutes of this meeting is attached as Annexure 1.
18 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
A follow-up meeting was held between JPCE and the Swartland Municipality in order to plan and co- ordinate public input meetings and acquire the latest available municipal information regarding the IWMP. This meeting was held in Malmesbury on 21 April 2016.
Mr H. Baumgarten, operational contractor of the Highlands landfill near Malmesbury, was approached to conduct the waste characterisation study. The Highlands landfill serves as the only disposal site (for household waste) for the Swartland Municipality and Mr Baumgarten manages the adjacent material recovery facility (MRF) as well. All incoming waste is weighed at the weighbridge, therefore accurate quantities in terms of recovery and disposal are recorded. The characterisation study was conducted over the span of an entire year in order to obtain representative data across all seasons. The results of the study are included in this IWMP.
Ms A. Naudé was appointed as sub-consultant to JPCE in order to conduct the industrial, hazardous and medical waste survey in the Swartland Municipality. All the generators of these waste types were identified and interviewed in order to obtain the quantities generated and the treatment and/or disposal methods as follows:
- The first step was a physical survey of the industrial areas within the Swartland Municipal footprint.
- All the industries were listed and contact detail recorded, if available on the outside of the premises.
- Further detail was acquired from the telephone directory if so required. The directory was also used as a cross reference for certain industries, such as the general practitioners and dentists.
- During the physical survey some industries were directly visited such as PPC Riebeeck West, Raïel Malmesbury, various spray painters and vehicle workshops.
- The balance of information were harnessed by a. Telephone calls and emails to contacts in major industries/hazardous waste generators as well as disposal and treatment facilities. b. Discussions during on-site meetings with the generator.
- Draft reports of each meeting with major hazardous waste generators/ clients were prepared and submitted to the client for review and approval.
- A summary of the findings/overview of the information was then transferred to this IWMP report.
- All the hazardous waste generators were classified on the waste type generated as per NEMWA.
Mr F. Bruwer, Manager: Cleansing Services and Waste Management Officer of Swartland Municipality, provided additional information and references required to inform the IWMP.
All the acquired information was reworked into the format presented in this report in order to reflect the status quo, draw conclusions and to make recommendations. The proposed goals, objectives and implementation items were first reviewed with the solid waste manager of the Swartland Municipality before including these into the final IWMP.
1.5 OVERALL AIMS AND GOALS OF THE IWMP
The primary objective of integrated waste management (IWM) planning is to integrate and optimise waste management, in order to maximise efficiency and minimise the associated environmental impacts and financial costs and to improve the quality of life of all residents within the Swartland Municipality.
The Plan takes particular note of importance of local authority waste management planning. This document underlines the following principles of the National Waste Management Strategy:
The prevention of waste generation; The recovery of waste of which the generation cannot prevented, and The safe disposal of waste that cannot be recovered.
19 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The Plan will address all areas of waste management – from waste prevention and minimisation (Waste avoidance), to its collection, storage, transport, treatment, recovery and final disposal. It will not only address the practicalities of waste management in context of this Municipality, but also the issues of public education and changing concepts, as these are vital to a successful management system.
The main goals of the IWMP are aligned with the goals of the Western Cape IWMP, the NWMS, the municipal Spatial Development Framework (SDF) and the municipal Integrated Development Plan (IDP). These are shown in the Table 1-1 below. These main goals are shown in further detail and sub-goals and implementation items in Section 5: Implementation and Strategy Plan of the report.

1.6 GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF STUDY
Swartland Municipality is the northern neighbour of the City of Cape Town, comprising approximately 3690.5 km2. It is an area noted for its wheat farms and vineyards. The name Swartland or “Het Zwartland” is a descriptive name that was given to the area by Johan Wintervogel in 1661 due to the black appearance of the renoster bush in the summer months.
Today the Swartland area host many industries, but the wheat related industries appear to be the main stream and the Swartland area is synonymous to bread and cereals. Due to the colourful history of this area and the picturesque views, tourism is a fast growing industry in Swartland.
The Swartland Municipality was established in December 2000 through the amalgamation of the former municipalities and towns of Malmesbury, Moorreesburg, Darling, Yzerfontein, Riebeek-West, Riebeek- Kasteel, Chatsworth, Riverlands, Kalbaskraal, Abbotsdale and Koringberg.
Refer to Figure 1-1 for a Plan of the Study Area.

Figure 1-1: Study Area – Swartland Municipal Area
Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
1.6.1 Topography and climate
The municipal area is relatively flat and with the area around Malmesbury on a slight topographical high. The eastern and northern areas slope towards the Berg River while the southern area slopes towards the Diep River running south. The western area slopes towards the Atlantic Ocean and forms a number of insignificant streams and rivulets.
The area has a Mediterranean type climate and is known for its hot summer days. Average annual rainfall is approximately 700 mm, with the southern portion receiving more than the northern portion. The evaporation is high, approximately 1900 mm per annum, which is more than double the rainfall.
1.6.2 Geology and Hydrogeology
1.6.2.1 Geology (Refer Figure 1-2)
The Swartland Municipal area is mainly underlain by rocks of three geological formations, with small outcrop areas of two other formations and comprises an area of ~3,690,660,396 m2. From oldest to youngest these are the Malmesbury Group, the Klipheuwel Group, Cape Granite Suite, Table Mountain Group and Quaternary deposits. They are discussed briefly in chronological order below.
The coastal plain extending from Atlantis to Yzerfontein and up to the eastern boundary on the municipal area is underlain by rocks of the Malmesbury Group. These are very old rocks, >600 million years old, which have been compacted and deformed over this long time period into mostly impermeable rocks. This Group comprises three subgroups which occur in three so-called domains or terranes, of which the Swartland Subgroup/terrane is predominant in the study area. It comprises mostly phyletic and schistose rocks with limestone lenses and sandstone horizons. In terms of outcrop area, this Group occupies 49% of the study area.
Granite intrusive were emplaced into the Malmesbury rocks about 550 to 500 million years ago. These rocks form the Darling Hills and the Perdeberg, with smaller associated outcrops in between. Sandy soils are developed on these rocks. In terms of outcrop area, these rocks occupy 13% of the study area.
The Klipheuwel Group has a very minor occurrence (0.5%) in the study area, to the east of Riebeeck West.
Resistant quartzitic sandstones of the Table Mountain Group (TMG) form the Kasteelberg to the west of Riebeeck West. This comprises the Peninsula Formation, a thick sequence of resistant quartzites and quartzitic sandstones. It is an outlier of the main TMG outcrop area of the mountains to the east. In terms of outcrop area, these rocks occupy 1% of the study area.
The Quaternary deposits comprise sandy and loamy soils in the inland areas between Darling and Malmesbury. West of the Darling Hills the surface deposits comprise wind-blown sand and calcrete overlying coarser sand and gravel deposits of marine and fluviatile origin. They reach their thickest development of >50 m in the coastal strip south of Yzerfontein. They occupy 36.5% of the study area.
There are three main structural features in the area. One is the Franschhoek-Saldanha Fault running in a NW-SE direction to the east of Darling. One is a NNW-SSE trending fault running past the Kasteelberg to near Moorreesburg, with numerous E-W trending faults on its eastern side. The other is the Wellington-Piketberg Fault that runs along the eastern boundary of the study area.

Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
1.6.2.2 Groundwater (Refer to Figure 1-3)
In broad terms, any aquifers developed in the rocks of the Malmesbury, Klipheuwel and Table Mountain Groups are of the fractured or secondary type (green coloured areas on Figure 1-3). Aquifers developed in the Quaternary unconsolidated sediments are of the intergranular or primary type (mauve coloured areas on Figure 1.3). Groundwater can occur in weathered rock and fractures in the granites and is termed fractured and intergranular (pink coloured areas on Figure 1-3).
Groundwater potential and quality in the Malmesbury Group is very variable. Close to the contact with the TMG Aquifer, in fault zones, sandstone horizons and where they are overlain by saturated Quaternary sediments, yields can be relatively high and groundwater quality moderate to good. However, away from such zones and in the lower rainfall areas of the central-northern areas, yields and quality are poor, generally <1 ℓ/s and >2000 mg/ℓ. This aquifer is important for widespread but generally small-scale groundwater use, e.g. stock watering and local domestic purposes.

1.7 DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY
The Swartland Municipality is located in the West Coast District Municipality (WCDM). This District is comprised of the Bergrivier, Cederberg, Matzikama, Saldanha Bay and Swartland local municipalities.
The role of the District Municipality does not affect the solid waste functions of the local Municipalities. Only when waste crosses a municipal border such as for the use of a regional disposal site, does it become a District function. The West Coast District does not have a District Solid Waste Forum at this stage. It is recommended that such a Forum is established as it allows for the municipalities in the District to work and plan together and achieve the solid waste goals and targets as a District. Further opportunities and solutions can also be further explored between Forums of different Districts.
The WCDM’s purpose is stated on their website as follows:
The purpose of the WCDM and the five affiliates (local municipalities), is to share the responsibility for the local government in their areas, and to ensure that all communities, particularly disadvantaged communities, have equal access to resources and services. WCDM assist local municipalities, who don’t have the capacity in finances, facilities, staff or knowledge to provide them with services to enhance their communities.
The WCDM’s mission is as follows:
Through participation and cooperation, the West Coast District Municipality is committed to developing the people in the district optimally.
1.8 LOCAL MUNICIPALITY
The Swartland Local Municipality has the following policies, vision and mission:
1.8.1 Policies
The policies of the Swartland Municipality which address solid waste management directly or indirectly are the following:
- The Swartland Municipality Tariff By-law and Policy, Provincial Gazette 7285, 11 July 2014. The objectives of this policy are to comply with the provisions of section 74 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 and to give guidance to the councillor responsible for finance regarding tariff proposals to be submitted to council annually during the budget process. Section 3 deals with waste removal, including units of measurement and method of calculation.
- The Swartland Municipal Social Development Policy and Strategy 2013. One of the focus areas of this Policy is “Lobbying for the vulnerable”. Under this focus area is care for the environment.
- The integrated solid waste by-law is discussed under the legislation section of this IWMP.
1.8.2 Vision
Swartland Municipality is a frontline organization which promotes sustainable development and delivers services effectively and efficiently to all its people by building partnerships with all stakeholders.
Key words and phrases in the vision must be interpreted as follows:
- Municipality: A municipality consists of the political structures, the administration and the community - Frontline: Dictionary definition: At the forefront of something, leading, foremost, influential, most important
29 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
- Sustainable development: Development that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. It rests on three “pillars” i.e. economic development, social development and environmental protection. - Effectively: A measure of how inputs and outputs relate to the achievement of an institution’s strategic objectives and goals. - Efficiently: Maximum level of output for a given set of inputs, or the minimum required inputs to produce a given level of output. - Partnerships: The purpose of partnerships is the joint creation of prosperity and the fair distribution thereof. - Stakeholders: Any person, organisation, company or government body that has some form of interest in the Swartland municipal area.
- (Swartland Municipality IDP as revised by Council)
1.8.3 Mission
At Swartland Municipality it is our mission to promote social and economic sustainability and growth through the sustainable delivery of services in terms of our legal powers and functions to all our interested parties.
- (Swartland Municipality IDP as revised by Council)
1.8.4 Connection with other Local Municipalities
In terms of solid waste management, the Swartland local municipality has an agreement with the Bergrivier municipality, allowing the use of the Highlands landfill. The Bergrivier municipality do not have disposal facilities for the disposal of household waste and disposes a part of their generated waste stream in terms of the abovementioned agreement. The Bergrivier municipality pays disposal fees to the Swartland municipality according to the amount of waste received at the Highlands landfill. These quantities are measured with the weighbridge at Highlands. The transport of the waste from Bergrivier is the Bergrivier municipality’s responsibility.
Further co-operation between these two municipalities can be explored. For example, the Bergrivier municipality can establish a central composting facility, but would require additional sources of green waste to create a financially sustainable operation as they generate too low volumes of green waste. The Swartland municipality needs an alternative to disposal of their green waste. Since the Bergrivier municipality already transports waste to Swartland, the empty return trips can be used to transport the Swartland’s green waste back to Bergrivier in order to boost the volumes for a composting facility. This will require a detailed study in terms of volumes, transport requirements, facility establishment and feasibility. This is proposed in the implementation section of the IWMP.

2. STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION
2.1 CONSULTATION WITH AUTHORITIES
The Assessment Report of the previous, 2nd Generation IWMP formed the first consultation with authorities as it was issued by the D:EA&DP. It served as the first identifier of the issues that needed to be addressed during the IWMP update process to the third generation plan.
The D:EA&DP also attended the inception meeting for the 3rd Generation IWMP development and provided guidance and input regarding the required information and processes that need to be followed. The D:EA&DP also provided valuable information that informed the IWMP and consultation continued throughout the development. The draft IWMP was also submitted directly to the D:EA&DP for review before the IWMP’s presentation to Council for approval. After Council has approved the IWMP, the final version of the document must be delivered to the D:EA&DP.
The assessment report on the draft 3rd Generation IWMP from the D:EA&DP is attached as Annexure 8. The following recommendations were made in the assessment:
- The IWMP needs to provide further policy context for waste management by including provincial policies as listed in section 4.1.
- Once public participation has commenced, kindly ensure the following:
o The inclusion of a detailed public participation programme i.e. date, location, number of public participation sessions, methods (e.g. newspapers, meetings) and participants. o Proof of public participation e.g. attendance registers, comments received and response given.
- Information about recycling conducted by private companies within the municipality must be obtained and included in the IWMP. No company details needs to be provided. The data could be displayed in terms of waste streams or sectors.
The policy context referred to in the assessment report has been included under section 3.1 of the IWMP. Public participation details have been included under section 2.2 and Annexure 7. Private recyclers do not report their statistics to the municipality and therefore cannot be included at this stage. This information can be added to the IWMP in future revisions when quantities have been reported. It was also added under the Gaps and Needs.
2.2 CONSULTATION WITH THE PUBLIC AND OTHER INTERESTED AND AFFECTED PARTIES
The initial planned public consultation process was to introduce the development of the IWMP at all Ward Committee meetings and request comments and input from the public for inclusion in the plan. The meetings of May 2016 was planned to be used, but all meetings were cancelled until the completion of the municipal elections in August 2016.
The Swartland IDP is also in development and, with the IWMP being a sectorial plan which will be included in the IDP, the IWMP public participation will tie in with that of the IDP. As the proposed action/implementation items of the IWMP will be known during the development of the IDP, these items and the required latest information from the IWMP will be included in the IDP where appropriate.
The IWMP draft document was advertised in the Swartland Gazette (Refer to Annexure 7) on Tuesday 6 December 2016. This is a free newspaper that is distributed throughout the Swartland municipal area. The public’s input was requested to contribute to the IWMP. A copy of the draft IWMP was available for download from JPCE.co.za and hard copies were available at the office of Mr Bruwer.
The Swartland Municipal Advisory Forum (SMAF) held on Tuesday 6 December in the Malmesbury Town Hall was used as platform to present and discuss the IWMP as part of the IDP. (Refer to Annexure 7 for the agenda and attendance register). All Councillors were invited as well as all Ward Committee members and some members of the public. Attendees were given the opportunity to deliver comment and/or ask questions after each presentation session. They were also requested to ask for comments to be delivered in their respective wards.
31 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Questions/comments raised at the SMAF pertaining to the IWMP were the following:
- Street cleansing not being done in Riebeeck Kasteel: Mr Bruwer replied that this is part of the implementation goals to appoint a private company to do street cleansing. Currently the municipal team does this. - Resident in Yzerfontein unsure of what to do with used oil: Mr Bruwer replied that the option is to take the used oil to a garage. These waste types are also addressed in the new IDP. - No further comments were received.

3. STATUS QUO
This section of the IWMP entails the situational analysis of the Swartland Municipality, which includes amongst others, the applicable legislation, population description, waste types and quantities generated and waste management services overview.
3.1 LEGISLATION
The applicable legislation is listed here and includes the Swartland municipal waste management by-laws.
3.1.1 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa
In 1996 the new Constitution created the right to the environment as a fundamental right. This fundamental right to the environment ensures everyone’s right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being. South African law, the environment and all South Africans have a constitutional right to have the environment protected for present and future generations. This means that there must be reasonable legal and other measures to prevent ecological degradation, promote conservation and secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development.
All legislation has to fall within the stipulations of the Constitution. The following sections are of particular relevance where waste is concerned:
Section 24(a)
Provides everyone the right to an environment that is not harmful to a person’s health and well- being.
Section 24(b)
Provides everyone the right to have the environment protected through reasonable legislative and other measures. The implementation of section 21, 22 and 26 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989 is such a legislative measure to protect the environment.
Section 25
Provides for property rights. The Constitution makes provision for both property rights and the right to a healthy environment. A situation may arise in extreme cases where there is a conflict due to rejecting an application for a listed activity from taking place. In such cases it will be up to the court to decide whether the interest of the community (right to a healthy environment) weights heavier than the right to the individual.
Section 32
Provides the right to access to information. The lack of information is one of the major obstacles in environmental impact management. Provision has been made in the regulations in terms of section 26 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989, that any report submitted becomes a public document.
Section 38
Provides locus standi or the “right to get involved” to any member of the public. This means that any member of the public has the right to take appropriate action to prevent environmental damage. This may include taking action against the relevant authority for failing to perform its duties in preventing environmental damage or any individual or authority who is in the process of undertaking listed activities in terms of section 21 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989, without the necessary authorisation to undertake such activities.
33 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Section 41
Provides principles for co-operative governance and intergovernmental relations. The Constitution allocates legislative authority as well as executive and administrative powers to all three levels of government. Schedules 4 and 5 determine the functional areas of government. The environment is a cross-sectorial matter and it is therefore important that co-operation between government on all levels is necessary. Furthermore, Chapter 7 of the Constitution of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996) describes the role and responsibilities of Local Government, which include the objectives in Section 152:
“The objects of local government are:
to promote social and economic development. to promote a safe and healthy environment…”.
These principles are further developed in the National Environmental Management Act 1998 (Act 107 of 1998).
The Constitution (Act No. 108 of 1996) is relevant to pollution and waste management for two reasons. Firstly, the Bill of Rights (Chapter Two of the Constitution) contains a number of rights relevant to integrated pollution and waste management, to the extent that an Act or particular statutory provision that does not uphold these rights, is unconstitutional. Secondly, the Constitution provides the legal basis for allocating powers to different spheres of government, and is thus relevant to the institutional regulation of integrated pollution and waste management.
Sovereign
The Constitution states that South Africa is a sovereign, democratic state. In terms of environmental management, it is important to recognize that sovereignty includes the ability to limit sovereign powers by entering into international agreements where the need arises.
The Bill of Rights
The most pertinent fundamental right in the context of integrated pollution and waste Management is the Environmental Right (Section 24), which provides that:
”Everyone has the right
(a) to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being; and (b) to have the environment protected, for the benefit of present and future generation through reasonable legislative and other measures that –
(i) prevent pollution and ecological degradation; (ii) promote conservation; and (iii) secure ecologically sustainable development and the use of natural resources while promoting sustainable economic and social development.”
The section of the Bill of Rights specifically imposes a duty on the State to promulgate legislation and take other steps to ensure that the right is upheld and that, other things, pollution and ecological degradation are prevented.
3.1.2 National Environmental Management Act
The NEMA provides for co-operative environmental governance by establishing principles for decision making on matters affecting the environment, institutions that will promote co-operative governance and procedures for co-ordinating environmental functions exercised by organs of state; and to provide for matters connected therewith.
As the principal framework act for environmental issues, it has direct relevance to the implementation of the National Waste Management Strategy, one of the key implications being the designation of the DEAT as lead agent for the environment. Chapter 7 of NEMA has important direct implications for the achievement of the NWMS initiative.
34 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The environment as defined in NEMA is the natural environment along with its physical chemical, aesthetic and cultural properties that influence human health and well-being.
NEMA contains the following environmental principles:
Environmental management must put people and their needs at the forefront, and must serve their interest fairly. Development must be socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. This means that the following things must be considered before there is development: a) Disturbance of ecosystems and loss of biodiversity b) Pollution and degradation of the environment c) Disturbance of landscapes and sites where the nation’s cultural heritage is found d) Non-renewable resources must be used responsibly e) The precautionary principle must be applied f) Negative impacts must be anticipated and prevented and if they can’t be prevented they must be minimized or remedied. Environmental management must be integrated. The best practical environmental option must be pursued. Environmental justice must be pursued so that there is not unfair discrimination in the way that negative environmental impacts are distributed There should be equitable access to environmental resources, benefits and services to meet basic human needs. Special measures may be taken to ensure access for persons disadvantaged by unfair discrimination. Responsibility for environmental health and safety of any policy, programme or project must continue throughout the life cycle of a project Public participation in environmental decision-making must be promoted. The participation of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups must be ensured Decisions must take into account the interests, needs and values of all interested and affected parties. This includes recognizing all forms of knowledge including traditional and ordinary knowledge Community well-being and empowerment must be promoted through environmental education The social, economic and environmental impacts of the activities must be assessed The rights of workers to refuse to do work that is harmful to human health or the environment and to be informed of dangers must be respected Decisions must be taken in an open and transparent manner and access to information provided in accordance with the law There must be inter government co-ordination and harmonization of policies and laws Actual or potential conflicts of interest between organs of state must be resolved through conflict resolution procedures Global and international responsibilities relating to the environment must be discharged in the national interest The environment is held in a public trust for the people and the use of environmental resources must serve the public interest, and be protected as the people’s common heritage The polluter must pay for the costs of remedying pollution, environmental degradation and adverse health impacts The vital role of youth and women in environmental management must be recognized and their full participation promoted Sensitive or stressed ecosystems must receive special attention in planning which might affect them especially when they are subject to significant resource usage and development pressure.
NEMA also stipulates in Section 24 that there must be an environmental impact assessment before any activity or development that needs permission by law and which may significantly affect the environment.
Section 28 places a specific duty of care on every person to prevent, or mitigate and remediate, environmental damage and pollution. Any person, who was responsible for, or directly or indirectly contributed to the pollution, can be held liable. This includes the owner of the land at the time the pollution occurred or their successor in title, a person in control of the land at that time, or any person who negligently failed to prevent the situation.
35 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The public can use NEMA to exercise their rights when they believe that the right procedures were not followed. Therefore it is extremely important to make sure that when there is a proposed development where the municipality is involved e.g. change of land-use – to make sure that the consultant and/or developers follow the right procedures.
The NEMA Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations
Sections 24 and 44 of NEMA make provision for the promulgation of regulations that identify activities that may not commence without environmental authorisation or existing activities in respect of which an application for environmental authorisation is required. In this context, EIA Regulations contained in three General Notices in terms of NEMA (GN R385, 386 and 387) (came into force on 3 July 2006.)
The 2006 Regulations were repealed by the June 2010 EIA Regulations (GN R543), and the June 2010 EIA Regulations were repealed and replaced by the 2014 EIA Regulation (GNR 982, GNR 983, GNR 984 and GNR 985.) The purpose of the Regulations is to regulate the procedure and criteria as contemplated in Chapter 5 of the Act relating to the submission, processing and consideration of, and decision on, applications for environmental authorisations for the commencement of activities in order to avoid detrimental impacts on the environment, or where it can con be avoided, ensure mitigation and management of impacts to acceptable levels, and to optimise positive environmental impacts, and for matters pertaining thereto.
3.1.3 National Environmental Management Act: Fees for consideration and processing of applications for environmental authorisations and amendments thereto (Government Notice 28 February 2014)
These regulations apply to the above applications excluding community based projects funded by government grants or applications made by organs of state. The commencement date is 1 April 2014. Payment details are discussed regarding the different applicable fees which are listed as follows:
Application Fee Application for an environmental authorisation for which basic assessment is required in terms of the R2000.00 Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations Application for an environmental authorisation, for which a S&EIR is required in terms of the R10000.00 Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (a) 100% of the most expensive application, namely, R10 000 (Ten Thousand Rand) if S&EIR is triggered and R2000 (Two Thousand Rand) if the basic assessment Application dealt with in terms of section 24L of the is triggered; Act (b) 50% of the other application, namely, R5000 (Five Thousand Rand) if the S&EIR is triggered or R1000 (One Thousand Rand) if the basic assessment is triggered) Amendment of an environmental authorisation on application by the holder of an environmental R2000.00 authorisation.
3.1.4 Environment Conservation Act, 1989 (Act NO. 73 of 1989)
On 1 July 2009 the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008) (“the Waste Act”) came into effect. The Waste Act repealed Section 20 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989 (Act No. 73 of 1989) (“ECA”) and introduces new provisions regarding the licensing of waste management activities.
The Environment Conservation Act, 1989 Waste Tyre Regulations (2009) which were published on 13 February 2009 came into effect on 30 June 2009, and makes provision for effective and integrated management of waste tyres in the country. It provides regulations for tyre producers, tyre dealers and waste tyre stockpile owners.
36 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The regulations furthermore require the compilation of industry waste tyre management plans and waste tyre stockpile abatement plans and details the requirements for waste tyre storage areas.
3.1.5 The Western Cape Health Care Waste Management Amendment Act, 2007 (No 6 of 2010)
Act 7 of 2007 was amended in 2010 so as to align the terminology with that used in the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008; to define or redefine certain expressions; to delete certain unnecessary definitions; to provide for the issuing of compliance notices; to amend the provisions relating to offences and penalties; to make further provision regarding regulations; to effect certain textual changes; and to provide for matters incidental thereto. The Health Care Management Bill provides for the effective handling, storage, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of health care waste by all persons in the Province of the Western Cape; and provides for matters incidental thereto.
The object of this Act is to promote integrated health care waste management and thereby—
(a) reduce the risks of health care waste to human health; (b) prevent the degradation of the environment; (c) prevent the illegal dumping of health care waste; (d) promote sustainable development, and (e) ensure responsible management of health care waste within the Province.
Under this Act a Municipality must:
(a) enforce the relevant provisions of this Act within its area of jurisdiction; (b) perform audits of generators, transporters, treaters or disposers of health care waste within its area of jurisdiction to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Act; (c) report annually to the Provincial Minister on the number of incidents of illegal dumping of health care risk waste within its area of jurisdiction, the number of incidents of illegal dumping of health care risk waste pursued in a court of law, and the number of incidents of illegal dumping of health care risk waste successfully convicted in a court of law.
Health Care Waste is produced by hospitals, clinics, physicians, offices, dentists, funeral homes, veterinary clinics and medical- and research laboratories.
Currently only 10-15% of medical waste is considered infectious. The enormous volumes of health care waste requiring special handling and disposal for all infectious and pathological waste are responsible for the current re-evaluation of the terminology for health care waste.
The modern trend in infection control is dictated by the risk posed by the procedure and not by the diagnoses. Thus health care waste is divided into Health Care General Waste (HCGW) and Health Care Risk Waste (HCRW). HCRW generally indicates infectious waste, pathological waste, sharps, chemical and pharmaceutical waste, radioactive and cytotoxic waste.
3.1.6 The Western Cape Health Care Waste Management Amendment Act, 2007: Western Cape Health Care Risk Waste Management Regulations, 2013
These regulations were published in the Western Cape: Provincial Gazette Extraordinary 15 March 2013. These are the regulations set out in the Schedule under section 14 of the Western Cape Health Care Waste Management Act, 2007.
The regulations address the requirements for packaging, storage, internal transport, external transport, vehicles, drivers, treatment and disposal of health care risk waste. Furthermore the required training, registration of health care risk waste generators, transporters, treaters and disposers, reporting, auditing and record keeping is discussed. Health care waste management plans must be prepared by those who meet the criteria listed. The required actions regarding compliance notices are also listed.
All addressed forms in the regulations are given in the Annexures: Annexure 1: Minimum Requirements for health care risk waste containers Annexure 2: Minimum Requirements for storage of health care risk waste in terms of regulation 3 Annexure 3: Form 1, Minimum Requirements for a tracking document
37 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Annexure 4: Minimum Requirements for information to be contained in a Health Care Waste Management Plan Annexure 5: Form 2.1, IPWIS registration form for health care risk waste generators, transporters, treaters and disposers Annexure 6: Form 2.2, Registration Certificate; Form 3.1, Monthly record keeping form for generators; Form 3.2 Monthly record keeping form for transporters, treaters and disposers Annexure 7: Form 4.1, Compliance Notice; Form 4.2, Compliance certificate.
3.1.7 National Water Act (Act no. 36 of 1998)
The purpose of the Act is to ensure that the Municipality’s water resources are protected, used, developed and conserved in ways which take into account the protection of aquatic and associated ecosystems; that addresses basic human needs; that ensures the reduction and prevention of pollution; and that meets international obligations.
Section 19 of the NWA deals with landowners and users involved in any activity or process which causes, has caused or is likely to cause pollution of water resources. Such landowners and users are obliged to take all reasonable measures to prevent any such pollution from occurring, continuing or recurring. This includes measures to comply with any prescribed waste standard or management practice.
Furthermore, the NWA requires anyone who intends undertaking a water use, as defined, to obtain a licence. The water uses that may be relevant to waste management activities are:
discharging waste or water containing waste into a water resource through a pipe, canal, sewer, sea outfall or other conduit; and disposing of waste in a manner which may detrimentally impact on a water resource.
The applications for permits, licences and exemptions made before the promulgation of this Act could still be dealt with in terms of the Water Act 1956 (Act No. 54 of 1956).
3.1.8 National Environment Management: Air Quality Act 2004 (Act no. 39 of 2004)
This Act has been promulgated in order 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. It also provides for national norms and standards regulating air quality monitoring, management and control by all spheres of government; for specific air quality measures; and for matters incidental thereto.
The object of this Act is:
a) to protect the environment by providing reasonable measures for-
(i) the protection and enhancement of the quality of air in the Republic; (ii) the prevention of air pollution and ecological degradation; and (iii) securing ecologically sustainable development while promoting justifiable economic and social development; and
b) generally to give effect to section 24(b) of the Constitution in order to enhance the quality of ambient air for the sake of securing an environment that is not harmful to the health and well-being of people.
3.1.9 National Waste Management Strategy (2011)
The National Waste Management Strategy (2011) presents Government’s strategy for integrated waste management for South Africa and is a legislative requirement of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008) The purpose of the Strategy is to achieve the objectives of the Waste Act.
38 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The National Waste Management Strategy presents a long-term plan (up to the year 2016) for addressing key issues, needs and problems experienced with waste management in South Africa. The strategy gives effect to the Bill of Rights, Constitution of South Africa, Act 107 of 1998, on the basis of which the people of South Africa have the right to an environment that is not detrimental to their health. Furthermore, the strategy translates into action Government’s policy on waste as set out in the Draft White Paper on Integrated Pollution and Waste Management for South Africa (published in 1998).
The objective of integrated pollution and waste management is to move away from fragmented and uncoordinated waste management to integrated waste management. Such a holistic and integrated management approach extends over the entire waste cycle from cradle to grave, and covers the prevention, minimisation, generation, collection, transportation, treatment and final disposal of waste. Integrated waste management thus represents a paradigm shift in South Africa’s approach to waste management, by moving away from waste management through impact management and remediation and establishing instead a waste management system which focuses on waste prevention and waste minimisation.
The Strategy is built around a framework of eight goals, as listed below, along with specific goals that must be reached by 2016. All listed targets must be reached by 2016:
Goal 1: Promote waste minimisation, reuse, recycling and recovery of waste. - 25% of recyclable diverted from landfill sites for re-use, recycling or recovery. - All Metropolitan Municipalities, secondary cities and large towns have initiated separation at source programmes.
Goal 2: Ensure the effective and efficient delivery of waste services. - 95% of urban households and 75% of rural households have access to adequate levels of waste collection services. - 80% of waste disposal sites have permits.
Goal 3: Grow the contribution of the waste sector to the green economy. - 69 000 new jobs created in the waste sector.
Goal 4: Ensure that people are aware of the impact of waste on their health, well-being and the environment. - 80% of municipalities running local awareness campaigns. - 80% of schools implementing waste awareness programmes.
Goal 5: Achieve integrated waste management planning - All Municipalities have integrated their IWMPs with their IDPs and have met the targets set in the IWMPs. - All waste management facilities required to report to SAWIS have waste quantification systems that report information to WIS.
Goal 6: Ensure sound budgeting and financial management for waste services. - All municipalities that provide waste services have conducted full-cost accounting for waste services and have implemented cost reflective tariffs.
Goal 7: Provide measures to remediate contaminated land. - Assessment complete for 80% of sites reported to the contaminated land register. - Remediation plans approved for 50% of confirmed contaminated sites.
Goal 8: Establish effective compliance with and enforcement of the Waste Act. - 50% increase in the number of successful enforcement actions against non-compliant activities. - 800 EMIs appointed in the three spheres of government to enforce the Waste Act.
The strategy aims to reduce both the generation and the environmental impact of waste. It presents a plan for ensuring that the socio-economic development of South Africa, the health of its people and the quality of its environmental resources are no longer adversely affected by uncontrolled and uncoordinated waste management. It establishes a waste management system that concentrates on avoiding, preventing and minimising waste and makes provision for waste management services for all by extending an acceptable standard of waste collection, as well as transportation, treatment and disposal services to all communities.
39 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
While the long-term objective of the strategy is waste prevention and minimisation, a number of remedial actions such as improved waste collection and waste treatment are required in the shorter term due to prevailing inadequate waste management practices.
The Strategy is an institutionally inclusive strategy because its achievement relies on participation by numerous role-players in the public sector, private sector and civil society.
To implement the Waste Act, government must:
- Draft legislation, regulations, standards and Integrated Waste Management Plans. - Regulate waste management activities through licences and enforce their conditions. - Implement the South African Waste Information System (SAWIS) - Coordinate waste management activities using a system of Waste Management Officers. - Give effect to multilateral agreements and ensure proper import and export controls. - Progressively expand access to at least a basic level of waste services and plan for future needs. - Facilitate the establishment of a national recycling infrastructure. - Provide the framework for the remediation of contaminated land. - Work in partnership with the private sector and civil society.
3.1.10 White Paper on Education and Training (1995)
The 1995 White Paper on Education and Training states that “environmental education, involving an interdisciplinary, integrated and active approach to learning, must be a vital element of all levels and programmes of the education and training system, in order to create environmentally literate and active citizens and ensure that all South Africans, present and future, enjoy a decent quality of life through the sustainable use of resources”.
The White Paper advocates environmental education and training at all levels. This would include the local government sphere, particularly when it comes to the environmental education & training of government officials and workers.
The education of the youth is the responsibility of national and provincial government. However, the Constitution does state that where the capacity exists, functions can be delegated to local government, and that the spheres of government, while distinctive, are interdependent and interrelated. Local government should support the other spheres of government (such as the national Department of Education, DoE) in areas of its own focus, such as environmental management and sustainable development.
3.1.11 The Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000)
This policy outlines the role and responsibilities of local governments as to:
Provide democratic and accountable government for local communities; Ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner; Promote social and economic development; Promote a safe and healthy environment; Encourage the involvement of communities and community organisation in the matters of local government; and Strive, within its financial and administrative capacity, to achieve the objectives above.
These responsibilities indicate a need for an environmentally educated work force (accountable) as well as an environmentally educated public (involvement). The municipal Systems Act (32 of 2000) requires municipalities to promote public participation and to build the capacity of residents, councillors and municipal officials to engage in participatory processes. As a means of tracking progress in this area, the executive of a municipality is obliged to report annually on the level of public participation in municipal matter.
40 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Each Municipality must include in its integrated development plan contemplated in Chapter 5 of the Municipal Systems Act, an integrated waste management plan that is consistent with the relevant provincial integrated waste management plan. The annual performance report which must be prepared in terms of section 46 of the Municipal Systems Act must contain information on the implementation of the municipal integrated waste management plan.
3.1.12 The Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act no. 117 of 1998)
This act makes provision for the establishment of municipalities in accordance with the requirements relating to categories and types of municipality. It establishes criteria for determining the category of municipality to be established in an area and defines the types of municipality that may be established within each category.
The Act furthermore provides for an appropriate division of functions and powers between categories of Municipality and regulates the internal systems, structures and office-bearers of the municipalities. It also provides for appropriate electoral systems for matters in connection therewith.
3.1.13 National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act no. 59 of 2008) (“The Waste Act”)
On 1 July 2009 the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008) (“the Waste Act”) came into effect. The Waste Act repealed Section 20 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989 (Act No. 73 of 1989) (“ECA”) and introduces new provisions regarding the licensing of waste management activities.
Provision has been made in the form of legislative and regulatory tools to facilitate and ensure implementation of the Act by all spheres of government.
The Waste Act was published to reform the law regulating waste management in order to protect the health of the environment by providing reasonable measures for the prevention of pollution and ecological degradation and for securing ecologically sustainable development.
The purpose of this Act is to protect health, well-being and the environment by providing reasonable measures for –
the minimisation of the consumption of natural resources; the avoidance and minimisation of the generation of waste; the recovery, re-use and recycling of waste; the treatment and safe disposal of waste as a last resort; the prevention of pollution and ecological degradation; securing ecologically sustainable development while promoting justifiable economic and social development; promoting and ensuring the effective delivery of waste services; remediating land where contamination presents, or may present, a significant risk of harm; achieving integrated waste management reporting and planning; to ensure that people are aware of the impacts of waste on health and the environment; to provide for compliance and generally to give effect to section 24 of the Constitution in order to secure an environment that is not harmful to the health and well-being of people.
The interpretation and application of this Act must be guided by the national environmental management principles set out in section 2 of the National Environmental Management Act.
The Waste Act allows for the compilation of a Waste Management Strategy, national, provincial and local standards.
Municipalities must in terms of their by-laws:
establish service standards and levels of service for the collection of waste; may identify requirements in respect of the separation, compacting and storage of waste; may identify requirements for the management of waste, including requirements in respect of the avoidance of the generation of waste and the recovery, reuse and recycling of waste; the requirements in respect of the directing of waste to specific treatment and disposal facilities.

Each Municipality must include in its integrated development plan contemplated in Chapter 5 of the Municipal Systems Act, an integrated waste management plan that is consistent with the relevant provincial integrated waste management plan.
The annual performance report which must be prepared in terms of section 46 of the Municipal Systems Act must contain information on the implementation of the municipal integrated waste management plan.
Municipalities must also in terms of the Act:
conduct municipal activities in accordance with the National Waste Management Strategy and any national or provincial norms and standards; compile an integrated waste management plan; ensure that waste management services are provided within the municipality in a manner which prioritises the recovery, re-use or recycling of waste and provides for the treatment and safe disposal of waste as a last resort; designate a waste management officer; ensure that provision is made for the management and collection of litter; secure compliance with the objects of this Act that are in the domain of the municipality; and implement any other measures that are necessary for securing the objects of this Act that are within the domain of the municipality.
Duty to provide collection services - Every municipality has an obligation to progressively ensure that efficient, effective and affordable waste collection services are provided in its area.
A municipality may, by notice, require any person making use of the municipal collection service to separate specified types of waste from the general waste for the purposes of recovery, re-use or recycling.
In terms of Section 19(1) of the Waste Act, the Minister may publish a list of waste management activities that have, or are likely to have, a detrimental effect on the environment. In terms of Section 20 of the Waste Act no person may commence, undertake or conduct a waste management activity except in accordance with the following:
the requirements or standards determined in terms of Section 19(3) of the Waste Act for that activity; or a waste management licence issued in respect of that activity, if a license is required.
On 3 July 2009 a list of waste management activities were published. These activities were published in Government Notice 178 in Government Gazette No. 32368 of 3 July 2009. No person may commence with, undertake or conduct these activities unless a waste management licence is issued in respect of the activity.
A person who wishes to commence, undertake or conduct an activity listed under Category A must conduct a Basic Assessment process whilst activities listed under Category B requires a Scoping and EIA process to be undertaken.
In terms of Section 49(2) of the Waste Act a decision to grant a waste management licence in respect of a waste disposal facility is subject to the concurrence of the Minister responsible for Water Affairs. The Waste Act further specifies that the issuing of a waste management licence for a waste disposal facility is subject of the inclusion in the licence of any conditions contained in a Record of Decision issued by the Minister responsible for Water Affairs regarding any measures that the Minister responsible for Water Affairs considers necessary to protect a water resource as defined in the National Water Act, 1998 (Act No. 36 of 1998).

3.1.15 National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act no. 59 of 2008): National Domestic Waste Collection Standards, Government Notice 33935, 21 January 2011
The purpose of this publication is to redress past imbalances in the provision of waste collection services. 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.
It is recognised that South Africa is a developing country and the purpose of the setting of standards is to ensure a service to all while complying with health and safety regulations without unnecessarily changing current creative collection processes as long as they function well and deliver a service of acceptable standard to all households. These National Domestic Waste Collection Standards are therefore applicable to all domestic waste collection services throughout the country.
This notice distinguishes between the levels of service relating to waste collection. It further states that equitable waste collection services must be provided to all households within the jurisdiction of the municipality. In areas where travelling distances and the resulting costs may render regular waste collection services impractical, the municipality, through by-laws, must allow for more feasible alternative ways of waste handling, such as on-site disposal.
From here regulations and guidelines on separation at source, collection of recyclable waste, receptacles, bulk containers, communal collection points, frequency of collection, drop-off centres and collection vehicles are given.
Existing Occupational Health and Safety legislation must be adhered to and the general health of waste collection workers must be addressed by ensuring they receive:
(i) regular medical check-ups to ensure their health and well-being; (ii) appropriate personal protective equipment e.g. gloves, masks, overalls and raincoats, gumboots; and (iii) on-going training on health and safety issues.
The role of the Waste Management Officer regarding waste awareness and the handling of complaints are prescribed. The municipality must create awareness amongst households about the following:
(i) the types of waste collection services provided; (ii) separation at source - the removal of recyclables and re-usable waste from the general household waste; (iii) the potential of composting of some of the household waste and the benefit of such to the household; (iv) the unacceptability of illegal dumping and littering; (v) measures to be taken against individuals that litter and dump waste illegally; (vi) the cost of cleaning up illegal dumping and littering, and the implications on household waste collection rates; and (vii) the advantages of reporting illegal dumping activities.
The municipality must provide clear guidelines to households about the following:
(i) the different types of waste generated in households; (ij) separation of non-recyclable and non-reusable household waste from compostable waste and recyclable waste; (iii) appropriate containers for each type of waste; (iv) removal schedules for each type of waste; and (v) what to do with waste other than those waste forming part of the regular schedule of waste collection services.
45 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Awareness raising and guideline communications must be done at regular intervals to ensure that all households are well informed about the issues listed above.
The Waste Collection customer service standards for Kerbside collection are described with respect to collection schedule, interruptions, the replacement of bins, collection during holidays and general points.

3.1.27 National Policy for the Provision of Basic Refuse Removal Services to Indigent Households, Government Notice 34385, 22 June 2011
The main criterion for determining the qualifying recipients of Basic Refuse Removal (BRR) services is registration on a municipality’s indigent register as provided for by the indigent policy of the municipality.
The following criteria can be used in the absence of or in addition to the main criterion to determine the qualifying recipients of the BRR services:
Level of income: Monthly net household income of members of less than or equal to two old age pensions (including children/individuals who may get state grants). Residence status: Everybody residing in the municipality provided their indigent status have been verified. Special considerations: All child headed households, households headed by pensioners and people with disabilities. Value of property (need to note that inherited properties might give false income level status). Any other criteria as determined by the specific municipality
A municipality may for practical reasons, declare certain areas or clusters as qualifying recipients of BRR. Examples may include low-income areas and high density, urban informal areas.
Such declarations have added advantages in terms of administrative feasibility (logistics and costs included) especially where rate collection is challenging. A municipality may declare certain low density rural areas as areas where on-site disposal is deemed to be an appropriate waste management option.
If the recipient dos not fall under a qualifying indigent area, he/she may register as an indigent at his/her municipality. The municipality must set out certain dates/times for these registrations.
3.1.28 White paper: policy on pollution prevention, waste minimisation, impact management and remediation (March 2000)
In line with international trends and our national objectives of efficient and effective management of our nation’s resources, priority is given to prevention of waste. Unlike previous policies that focused predominantly on so called “end of pipe” treatment, this White Paper underscores the importance of preventing pollution and waste and avoiding environment degradation.
Effective mechanisms to deal with unavoidable waste will remain necessary, but much greater attention must be directed to the introduction of preventative strategies aimed at waste minimisation and pollution prevention. Ever increasing urban and industrial development throughout the world is leading to levels of pollution, which seriously threaten the natural resources upon which humankind depends for its survival.
Although South Africa has extensive environment, pollution and waste management legislation, responsibility for its implementation is scattered over a number of departments and institutions.
The fragmented and uncoordinated way pollution and waste is currently being dealt with, as well as the insufficient resources to implement and monitor existing legislation, contributes largely to the unacceptably high levels of pollution and waste in South Africa.
The White Paper on Integrated Pollution and Waste Management will result in a review of the existing legislation and the preparation of a single piece of legislation dealing with waste and pollution matters.
Pollution and waste management is not the exclusive preserve of government. The private sector and civil society have crucial roles to play. The fostering of partnerships between government and the private sector is a prerequisite for sustainable and effective pollution and waste management to take place. Similarly, the spirit of partnerships and co-operative governance between organs of state is equally important due to the crosscutting nature of pollution and waste management.
51 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Monitoring and collection of information on pollution and waste generation are crucial for the implementation of pollution and waste reduction measures. Moreover, the sharing of such information and creating awareness about the issues will enable all stakeholders, including communities, to gain a better understanding of the relation between pollution, waste management and the quality of life.
The White Paper proposes a number of tools to implement the objectives of the policy it sets out. The most significant of these is a legislative programme that will culminate in new pollution and waste legislation. This proposed legislation, amongst other things, will address current legislative gaps, and clarify and allocate responsibilities within government for pollution and waste management.
The policy presents seven strategic goals, which are as follows:
Goal 1: Effective Institutional Framework and Legislation Goal 2: Pollution Prevention, Waste Minimisation, Impact Management and Remediation Goal 3: Holistic and Integrated Planning Goal 4: Participation and Partnerships Governance in Integrated Pollution and Waste Management Goal 5: Empowerment and Education in Integrated Pollution and waste Management Goal 6: Information Management Goal 7: International Cooperation
The role of Local Government
Municipalities will be responsible for providing waste management services, and managing waste disposal facilities. Specific functions to be carried out by municipalities will include:
compiling and implementing general waste management plans, with assistance from provincial government implementing public awareness campaigns collecting data for the Waste Information System providing general waste collection services and managing waste disposal facilities within their areas of jurisdiction implementing and enforcing appropriate waste minimisation and recycling initiatives, such as promoting the development of voluntary partnerships with industry, including the introduction of waste minimisation clubs where possible, regional planning, establishment and management of landfill sites, especially for regionally based general waste landfills.
3.1.29 Planning documents
The Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (March 2014)
The Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF) states that if the increasing amounts of waste generated are not minimised, it will give rise to the need for more disposal sites which is not desirable. A mind set of “reduce, rethink, recycle” still needs to be mainstreamed and further challenges are created by illegal dumping, shortfalls in hazardous waste facilities, growing informal settlements and a lack of recyclables collection from homes. The following provincial spatial policies related to waste management are included:
Policy R4: Recycle and recover waste, deliver clean sources of energy to urban consumers, shift from private to public transport, and adapt to and mitigate against climate change.
1. Unlock economic opportunities and increase the lifecycle of current disposal sites and apply the principles of “reduce, reuse, recycle”. 2. Close down illegal sites and locate new regional waste sites adjacent to rail facilities to decrease operational costs and energy requirements associated with the need for road freight.
The OneCape 2040
OneCape2010 was developed by the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership (EDP) for the Western Cape Government (WCG) and the City of Cape Town (CCT). The purpose is to encourage and provide a vision for a more inclusive and resilient economic future for the Western Cape. It does
52 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
not replace any existing statutory plans required of province or municipalities, but is intended as a guideline for stakeholders in order to:
- Promote fresh thinking and critical engagement on the future; - Provide a common agenda for private, public and civil society collaboration; - Help align government action and investment decisions; - Facilitate the necessary changes we need to make to adapt to our (rapidly) changing local and global context; - Address our development, sustainability, inclusion and competitiveness imperatives.
Under the Ecological transition, the goal is that all people have access to water, energy and waste services that are delivered in a sustainable resource-efficient manner.
The Western Cape Provincial Strategic Plan (2014 – 2019)
The Plan is aligned with the NDP, PSDF and also the OneCape2040. The following Provincial Strategic Goals are set out in the document:
- Strategic Goal 1: Create opportunities for growth and jobs. - Strategic Goal 2: Improve education outcomes and opportunities for youth development. - Strategic Goal 3: Increase wellness, safety and tackle social ills. - Strategic Goal 4: Enable a resilient, sustainable, quality and inclusive living environment. - Strategic Goal 5: Embed good governance and integrated service delivery through partnerships and spatial alignment.
The Western Cape Green Economy Strategy Framework
The Green Economy Strategy Framework is about achieving the double dividend of optimising green economic opportunities and enhancing our environmental performance. The framework is for the Western Cape to become the lowest carbon province and leading green economic hub of the African continent.
“Drivers” and “Enablers” are identified in the Framework as listed below:
Drivers:
- Smart living and working - Smart mobility - Smart eco-systems - Smart agri-production - Smart enterprise
Enablers:
- Finance - Rules and Regulation - Knowledge Management - Capabilities - Infrastructure
3.1.30 International treaties
This section lists the international agreements to which South Africa has acceded. The following is as described in section 4.10 of the National Waste Management Strategy 2011:
Various international agreements to which South Africa has acceded relate to waste management. A number of non-binding conventions and protocols are also relevant to waste management. This section summarises the main actions in the NWMS related to implementing international agreements.
53 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
3.1.30.1 The Basel Convention
The Basel Convention, adopted in 1989, has the greatest bearing on the Waste Act as it addresses the trans-boundary movement of hazardous wastes and their disposal, setting out the categorization of hazardous waste and the policies between member countries.
DEA is developing MOUs with the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) that effectively address the provisions of the Basel Convention.
DEA is considering accession to the amendments to the Basel Convention that ban the import and export of hazardous wastes. DEA is also currently developing a policy on imports and exports of waste that will address this.
DEA and DTI are jointly addressing the import and export control aspects of the Basel Convention, together with the chemical conventions. Control will happen through ITAC permits and SARS tariff codes.
3.1.30.2 The Montreal Protocol
The Montreal Protocol Treaty, revised in 1999, protects the ozone layer by phasing out the production of several substances that contribute to ozone depletion, with the aim of ozone layer recovery by 2050. This has relevance for waste management in instances where such obsolete products enter the waste stream. DEA will finalise and publish the National Implementation Plan for the Montreal Protocol. The plan will include the development on an Ozone Depletion Substance (ODS) strategy and regulations will provide for the phasing out of specified substances and their safe disposal.
3.1.30.3 The Rotterdam Convention
The Rotterdam Convention promotes and enforces transparency in the importation of hazardous chemicals and whilst it explicitly excludes waste, its implementation may lead to bans on listed chemicals. Some of these chemicals may occur in stockpiles of obsolete chemicals such as pesticides that have been identified as a major waste management challenge. Extended producer responsibility schemes will be used to effectively manage obsolete chemicals.
A study to investigate the extent of manufacture, use, import and export of new chemicals listed in the Rotterdam Convention will determine whether South Africa should ratify the newly added chemicals. This document will be finalised in 2012. A process to identify and ban pesticides and industrial chemicals listed in Annex lll (that South Africa has not yet banned) has started.
3.1.30.4 The Stockholm Convention
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), which entered into force in 2004, requires that member countries phase out POPs and prevent their import or export. Parties to the Convention are also required to undertake the following responsibilities:
- Develop and implement appropriate strategies to identify stockpiles, products and articles in use that contain or are contaminated with POPs. - Manage stockpiles and wastes in an environmentally sound manner. - Dispose of waste in a way that destroys or irreversibly transforms POPs content. - Prohibit recycling, recovery, reclamation, direct re-use or alternative use of POPs. - Endeavour to develop strategies to identify contaminated sites and perform eventual remediation in an environmentally sound manner.
3.1.31 Municipal By-laws
The Swartland Municipality published their integrated waste management by-law in terms of Section 13 of the Local Government Systems Act 2000, (Act 32 of 2000). The by-law was published in the Western Cape Provincial Gazette nr. 6935, 15 December 2011. Below is a summary of the by-law to illustrate the main themes and contents. The full by-law can be requested from the Swartland Municipality.

The Swartland Municipal Solid Waste By law is sufficiently comprehensive and in line with other legislation. No review of this by law is currently taking place nor is a review recommended at this stage
3.1.32 Discussion of legislation (effectiveness & implementation)
The above listed legislation (national, international and local by-law) provide comprehensive rule-sets by which the solid waste life-cycle and the management thereof are governed. Although there is always room for improvement, it can be argued that South African solid waste legislation is of a high standard and is comparable internationally. We must therefore ask to what extent is solid waste legislation implemented and, if possible, how to ensure compliance by all and what are the stumbling blocks. Without compliance with the above legislation we will not be able to create a sustainable future for the stunning and diverse natural South African environment.
In South Africa’s history the more comprehensive legislation and knowledge of better waste management practices are relatively “new” and therefore still in the stages of establishing a secure foothold in our society. Past waste management practices have in essence created a “back-log” of acceptable waste management practices and in many ways, the current generations are now required to address the complications created by old methods, poor management or uninformed decisions. A great number of instances of non-compliances to legislation are a direct result of pre-legislation practices that were not addressed, which can be due to various factors, and are still in some places the norm.

Legislation enforcement on a local level will almost definitely be lacking without the willing co-operation from the public and industry. In a rural Municipality such as Swartland with vast open spaces between towns and even within towns, the capacity of law enforcement is limited. There is simply not enough man-power to monitor all areas and prevent illegal practices. From the amount of illegally dumped waste that is collected and disposed in the Swartland Municipality compared to the total waste stream, it is clear that this is not a serious issue, but it can be improved.
In terms of the hazardous waste compliance and implementation of relevant legislation, the following was observed during the survey (Hazardous waste further discussed under 3.3):
3.1.32.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF NEMWA:
Compliance:
One waste generator in Malmesbury was found to be fully compliant to the NEMWA regulations (R634, 635, 636). Two waste management facilities in Malmesbury were found to be compliant and are licenced in terms of NEMWA.
Non-compliance:
Polluted ground: In one instance in Malmesbury the possible pollution of ground due to work done by a private entity. The details have been given to the Swartland Municipality in order to follow up on the matter and/or approach the D:EA&DP should it become necessary.
Hazardous waste classification (Regulation 634 and 635): Various hazardous waste generators are not even aware of the existence of NEMWA. Hazardous waste should be classified as per SANS 10234 by end of August 2016. This is not yet done in most of the cases.
Safety data sheets: (Regulation 634): Hazardous waste generators do not have Safety Data Sheets for each hazardous waste type that they generate except in a handful of instances.
NOTE: From previous IWMPs, the nature of the hazardous waste and final disposal in terms of the Minimum Requirements for the Disposal of Waste to Landfill, 1998 will be used as a reference for listing the hazardous waste generators in this IWMP Report.
Transportation (Regulation 634): Various smaller waste transporters fail compliance in terms of: . By accepting waste that has not been classified in terms of Regulation 4 unless such waste is listed in Annexure 1 of these Regulations. . By accepting waste that has not been classified and has no Safety Data Sheet prepared by the generator. . Preparing and carrying a Waste Manifest System for each waste type. . The transporter must give the waste Manifest Document of the specific waste being transported to the generator prior to transporting the waste from the premises.
3.1.32.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF WESTERN CAPE HEALTH CARE RISK WASTE ACT, ACT 7 OF 2007: WESTERN CAPE HEALTH CARE RISK WASTE REGULATIONS 15 MARCH 2013 (PROVINCIAL NOTICE P.N. 73)
Compliance:
All the HCRW generators have records of the waste types and disposal contractor, they were not always keen to share such information.
Non-compliance:
The municipality must keep records of HCRW - There is no working knowledge yet of who should be involved and at what level of the municipality? Currently records are kept in the Swartland Municipality by Ms Annaline Barlow as a personal effort. Fortunately for Swartland Municipality, they comply with the “Due Diligence Principle”, one of the NEMA Principles.
65 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The disposal of all used Nappies from the old Age homes are mixed with General waste and disposed of at Highlands. The mass is not known. Contaminated nappies however (possibly only ICU and Frail care) do not go to Highlands landfill for disposal.
3.1.32.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF OHS ACT: OHS ASBESTOS REGULATIONS AS WELL AS THE ECA ASBESTOS REGULATION 341 OF 2008.
The OHS Act is administered by Department of Labour and does not concern waste managers with the demolition, handling and transport of asbestos cement waste. However, once the load enters a landfill NEMWA empowers the ECA Regulations for asbestos cement waste transport and disposal.
OHS REGULATIONS: The OHS Act addresses the demolition of the asbestos cement products and should be monitored by Department of Labour. The transport and final disposal of asbestos cement waste should be according to specifications to minimise the release of fibres and such waste must be buried in hazardous waste landfills (Both H:H and H:h in the ECA classification and Class A in the NEMWA Classification).
Non-compliance with OHS Act:
The problem arises that various house owners remove asbestos cement tiles, roof sheets and guttering without being aware of any relevant Acts or Regulations. The demolition is either performed by a building contractor or even the owner himself, usually with assistance of day labourers. The asbestos cement waste is often found in mixed general waste loads going to landfill.
The labourers/person exposed to the fibre when handling the asbestos waste is often not even aware that they can refuse to do the work for a demolition contractor (often an ignorant owner and not Registered by Department of Labour as a Contractor) if not trained in safety occupational health requirements for asbestos cement waste in the OHS Act. Labourers must be supplied with PPE.
ECA REGULATION 341 OF 28 MARCH 2008 ON ASBESTOS WASTE DISPOSAL: Waste must be covered in double plastic of prescribed thickness to encapsulate the broken pieces or sheets of asbestos cement waste. The waste must be slipped into a trench without bags being broken. The trench must be covered once the waste is disposed of. The idea of keeping the waste wet is not a legal requirement but does prevent fibre release.
3.1.32.4 General
In general, the pressure on law enforcement will be lessened with the continued awareness and education of the public, industry and all generators of waste. All parties MUST realise their part in the waste management cycle and accept accountability, so that the response to legislation and waste management practices is not “why?”, but “how?”. The “how” will have to be continually addressed through education as new technologies, practices, waste types and opportunities emerge. The waste industry cannot afford to get comfortable and settle on “that is how it has always been done”, but must be innovative, up-to-date and achieve co-operation between all spheres of society in order to ensure the sustainable future of our environment.
The legislation is therefore sufficient, but compliance must be improved through awareness and education and improved enforcement. The public must also assist the Municipality and report all instances where the law is not obeyed. Instances related to solid waste can be reported to the Municipality: (022) 487 9400.
Another aspect to consider is affordability. As mentioned, certain practices were the norm in previous years, but are drastically affected by recent legislation. The D:EA&DP is currently under way with a project in order to estimate the costs of compliance for municipalities relating to solid waste infrastructure alone. The estimates thus far are considered unaffordable in the short to medium term. In these cases assistance is required or Municipalities must be given sufficient time in order to be compliant.
66 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
All of the Swartland Municipality’s disposal facilities are licensed and therefore in that respect compliant with legislation. The extent of implementation of the licence requirements are assessed via regular internal and external audits of the facilities. Requirements are identified and as far as possible provided for in the budget in order for implementation to take place. As mentioned above, financial restrictions hamper the full implementation of the requirements in the short term, but the municipality is not oblivious of the requirements and continues to improve on compliance.
3.2 DEMOGRAPHICS
The demographics and related statistics were obtained from Statistics SA and, with permission by D:EA&DP, the Western Cape Population Projections: 2011 – 2040, March 2014, by PwC.
3.2.1 Current and projected population and density
The 2011 Census figures indicate that the Swartland Municipality had a total population of 113 769 people with a 4.56% annual population growth rate since the 2001 Census. The abovementioned population projections report indicates that the 2016 Swartland population stands at 121 898 people, which is 28.89% of the total West Coast District 2016 population (421 929) and 1.97% of the total Western Cape Province 2016 population (6 195 138).
The Census 2011 statistics are available in terms of sub-places into which the Municipality was divided for the study. The abovementioned PwC population projection study for the Western Cape did not include data for sub-places, but did provide total projections per municipality up to the year 2040. A fixed growth rate per annum was not used, but different factors such as fertility, mortality and migration were taken into account. The population and household totals per sub-place of the 2011 Census were reworked in order to total to the projected population for each year as per the PwC report, with the assumption that the sub-places would grow in proportion to the total population.
The current and projected populations per sub-place based on the above are shown in Table 3-1 below:

From the above table, the population densities in Swartland can be graphically displayed as per Figure 3-1. The majority of the population resides in and around Malmesbury (35%), followed by rural areas (28%). The other two larger population hubs are the towns of Moorreesburg (12%) and Darling (9%). The total average population density for the whole of Swartland is 31 persons per km2.

3.2.2 Socio-economic profile and education
Table 3-2 shows the 2011 socio-economic profile of the Swartland municipality according to annual household income obtained from Census 2011. In order to estimate the current number of households, the assumption was made that the average number of persons per household for each sub-area would remain constant.

From the above, it is further stated that education levels according to age of those aged above 20 years, 6% have no schooling, 24.2% have matric and 9.5% have higher education.
3.2.3 Gender and age distribution
The population distribution according to gender and age is shown in Table 3-4 below. The distribution is almost equal between males and females, with females slightly more in percentage than males. It is interesting to note that there are less females than males in the youth range (0 – 14 years), slightly more females than males in the working age group (15 – 64 years) and significantly more females that achieve the elderly ages (65 + ).

71 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
These condensed results of the D:EA&DP study indicate that the Swartland Municipality has a high growth potential across all sub-areas, with Koringberg, Yzerfontein and Darling at medium growth potential.
The different indexes indicated in the table above are all based on many different factors that was part of the study to determine those indexes, but are not discussed in detail here. The summary of what each index indicates are as follows:
Growth Potential: Determined by quantitative indicators relating to socio-economic needs, economic, physical-environmental, infrastructure, human capital and institutional aspects combined with qualitative information such as stakeholder engagements. Socio-economic needs: Index determined by evaluating household services, education levels, housing needs and economic characteristics. Human Capital index: Index determined by factors such as education and income. Economic index: Index determined by factors such as per capita income, tourism, economically active population, etc. Physical index: Index determined by factors such as annual rainfall, groundwater availability and quality, grazing capacity and growth of cultivated land, etc. Infrastructure index: Index determined by factors such as household access to water, sanitation, electricity, waste removal and distances to airports and harbours, etc. Institutional index: Index determined by factors such as crime rate, management capacity, qualified audits, etc.
From the above, the Swartland municipality therefore has an overall high growth potential determined by the contributing factors. It is therefore important for the waste management department to be up to date with new and potential developments in the Municipality to ensure that the solid waste management system will have the required capacity to keep up with the growth.
The Swartland Municipal SDF prioritised action plans for the different towns and wards. The following items may influence solid waste management:

3.3 WASTE CLASSIFICATION
The waste types and quantities generated in the Swartland Municipality are discussed in this section.
3.3.1 Waste types and classification
With reference to the Waste Act, National Norms and Standards for Disposal of Waste to Landfill as well as Assessment of Waste for Landfill Disposal, 23 August 2013, the only types of waste allowed for disposal at the Swartland disposal facilities are general or Type 2, 3 and 4 wastes. No Swartland municipal facilities are allowed to accept hazardous or Type 1 wastes for disposal.
3.3.2 Methodology
Accurate quantities for general waste were obtained from the Highlands landfill weighbridge readings as all household waste is disposed at this facility. Waste calculator quantities of waste that is not weighed at Highlands and disposed at the other facilities (garden waste and building rubble) were used.
Ms A. Naudé was appointed as sub-consultant and conducted the hazardous waste study throughout the Swartland Municipal area. Information was acquired as explained under 1.3 above.
3.3.3 General Waste characterisation
Wastegro, operational contractor at the Highlands Landfill and recycler, completed a waste characterisation study over the length of one year. The schedule of the study was to take samples on every day for one week (Monday to Friday) of every second month. The study started in March 2016 and is representative of waste generated during all seasons of the year. The results are shown below and used for the purpose of the IWMP. The locations where the samples were taken are also shown in the tables below and are representative of all household income groups.
The samples were taken from black bags that were put out for collection. The main categories for the results are split into Organics, Recyclables and Non-recyclables. These are further divided as follows:
Table 3-7: Waste characterisation categories
Main Category Sub-Category Description Household All household organic waste such as kitchen (food) waste. Can also be seen as compostable. Garden Waste from gardens such as grass cuttings, twigs, leaves and Organic small branches. Mixed with this is some soil and stony material due to sweeping etc. Other Organic material such as used diapers and pet litter. Glass All types of glass, mainly bottles. Metal Ferrous and non-ferrous, mainly consisting of cans. Paper All types of paper including card board, white paper, newsprint, Recyclable glossy paper (magazines) and mixed paper. Plastic Recyclable plastics including PET, Polypropylene, HDPE, LDPE, Polystyrene. General Waste such as fabrics and recyclables contaminated beyond being recoverable. Plastic Non-recyclable plastics including PVC, non-categorised plastics e.g. chairs, coat hangers, toys and plastic cups as well Non-recyclable as plastics from the recyclable group, but that have been contaminated beyond the point of recovery. Fluid For health and safety reasons, bottles containing fluids were put under this category.
The combined results of the characterisation study are shown in Table 3-10 and Table 3-11 below. These include all results and were conducted during March, May, July, September and November 2016 as well as January 2017. The separate results of each sampling round can be found in Annexure 4.
73 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The waste samples were taken from different collection areas throughout Malmesbury, each day in a different location. The same locations on corresponding collection days were used in each sampling round. Refer to the Malmesbury collection map in Annexure 3 for the area locations.

3.3.4 General Waste quantities
The weighbridge figures from the Highlands Landfill, with the waste calculator data from the Darling, Moorreesburg and Riebeeck West disposal facilities added, yield a total of 33 583 tonnes of waste per annum, before measured diversion. This total would then be the best estimate of waste generated in the Swartland Municipal area.
From these totals it was then possible to calculate the waste generation rates per capita according to the available statistics on population income groups. The results were as follows:
Table 3-12: Waste Generation Rates per Capita
Income group kg/person/day Very Low & Low 0.41 Middle 0.80 High & Very High 1.29
The current and future estimated waste quantities can then be shown as per Table 3-13 below:

3.3.5 Hazardous waste
In terms of Chapter 2, Condition 4: Waste Classification of the Waste Classification and Management Regulations, SANS 10234 must be used. SANS 10234 is the South African National Standard Globally Harmonised System [GHS], for The Classification and Labelling of Chemicals and must be used by the generator prior to August 2016. It thus is a NEMWA requirement to classify the hazardous waste as per SANS 10234, based on the nature of its physical, health and environmental hazardous properties (hazard classes); and the degree of severity of hazard posed (hazard categories).
HCRW requires no special classification in terms of SANS 10234. It is pre-classified as 2b(iii). Refer to NEMWA (Regulation 634: Chapter 7: Annexure 1 of) stating that waste specified in condition 2 of the Annexure, does not require classification in terms of Regulation 4(1) or Assessment in Regulation 8 (a)(1). Condition 2b, Hazardous Waste: 2b(i) Hazardous waste, asbestos waste and 2b (iii) Other: Health Care Risk Waste.
Importantly, if a particular chemical substance in a waste is not listed with corresponding thresholds limits in section 6 of the Norms and Standards, and the waste has been classified as hazardous in terms of SANS 10234, the waste must be considered a Type 1 waste, and the Department of Water Affairs must be informed within 30 days of the particular element or chemical substance being identified.
However, very few generators in the Swartland Area have the waste classified per SANS 10234. The deadline for classification is August 2016. Because the SANS 10234 classification was not used by the generators of hazardous waste, it poses a problem to the consultants as the IWMP should give feedback on hazardous waste generated as per SANS 10234 requirements.
The final disposal of hazardous waste is indicative of the impact of such hazardous waste on the environment Also, the hazardous waste’s nature was determined as hazardous by observing the treatment and final Disposal at a H:h or H:H landfill, now referred to as Class A landfill. The Regulation 635 in NEMWA for unclassified hazardous substances within waste is:
“ If a particular chemical substance in a waste is not listed with corresponding thresholds limits in section 6 of the Norms and Standards, and the waste has been classified as hazardous in terms of SANS 10234, the waste must be considered a Type 1 waste or chemical substance being identified within 30 days”
If we assume that unclassified hazardous waste:
will be hazardous Type 1 waste even if one/a particular chemical substance is not analysed and confirmed as hazardous according to Schedule 3: Defined Waste AND even if its constituent is not the most hazardous substance in the composition of hazardous chemicals,
Then all of our hazardous waste will be Type 1: Thus high hazard waste that must have a final disposal in a Class A landfill.
We cannot apply this deduction.
The Minimum Requirements, 1998 under ECA, provides a table for definition of hazardous waste per generator per industry. This Table was adapted and now forms the basis of the industrial sources for classified waste in Schedule 3 of NEMWA.
REFER TO ANNEXURE 5 OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR THE RESULTS OF THE HAZARDOUS WASTE SURVEY
79 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
3.3.5.1 NEMWA Schedule 3: Defined Wastes
Category A: Hazardous Waste
Numbers 1 – 17 below refer to the corresponding numbers of Schedule 3 of NEMWA.
1. Waste from agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, forestry, hunting and fishing, food preparation and processing:
(b) Hazardous portion of waste from agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, forestry, hunting and fishing, food preparation and processing:
CHICKEN FARMS: There are several transport contracts in place for the removal of chicken manure and straw from Rainbow, County Fair, Quantum breeding Farm and Uitzig Farm to three composting facilities which operate in and near Malmesbury. Some of the excess is taken directly to farmers for ploughing into the soil as an enhancer. The Farm at Malmesbury used by DNA and Avison is licenced in terms of NEM:WA. Crushed eggs are disposed of at Highlands.
CELLARS: Pomace from cellars are used for composting and extraction of acetic acid and grape seed oil by Brenn-O-Kem in Wolseley. A small quantity is mixed in chaff for cow feed.
ABATTOIRS: Blood and gut content from the two abattoirs in the area are used as a raw material in composting at DNA and Avison. Meat processing waste is minimal and disposed of at Highlands as special waste.
DAIRY PRODUCTS: Only Darling Dairies is fully operational. Fair Cape is just coming on line. There is no response from Fair Cape on information to supply to the IWMP. Wash water is treated and enters the sewer. Rejects from production in the cold rooms, prior to dispatch is very rare. The disposal of retail returns are emptied from the containers as food for a pig farmer.
SEEDS, GRAIN STORES, MILLING AND PRODUCTION: The mills have very little foodstuff waste. Fumigation of the silos takes place regularly. The empty fungicide/biocide containers are all removed by the contractor. There is a clinic on one of the premises incorporated into the HCRW mass of the area. There are large quantities of compact and fluorescent tubes in the industrial/factory buildings that are removed by a waste contractor for treatment and disposal. There are various oils and rags removed from the workshops.
BREWERY: There is one private brewery in Darling producing 50 kg of filter cake per week. This goes to the transfer station on the way to Highlands with general municipal waste.
2. Waste from wood processing and production of panels and furniture, pulp paper and cardboard:
There is one raw wood factory in Moorreesburg that treats the raw wood with a Linseed oil mixture prior to processing. All off-cuts are used to feed the boiler. The Malmesbury Raïel factory produces wooden knobs and door handles from pre-treated wood. Wood shavings are used for the chicken farmers while off-cuts from Raïel and joineries are minimal.
There is no wood preservation/ treatment plants containing Chrome-Copper-Arsenic.
The production of waste from pulp, paper and cardboard are not taking place in Swartland.
3. Waste from leather, fur and textile industries:
There are two curing factories for hides. Both are dry hide processing plants generating salt contaminated with hair and grit. Disposal is at Highlands. This may in future be contradictory to the NEMWA regulations for Disposal.
There are no fur and textile industries.
80 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
4. Waste from petroleum refining, natural gas purification and pyrolytic treatment of coal:
There is no industry for the purification of natural gas, refining of petroleum or the pyrolytic treatment of coal.
5. Wastes from inorganic chemical processes:
This section is a diverse section that mainly deals with the manufacture, formulation, supply and use (MFSU), of a chemical product. There are no inorganic chemical manufacturing plants in the area.
The process of mining and milling of phosphate for fertilizer at NPK in Malmesbury has virtually no waste. Sweepings are re-used as fertilizer.
6. Wastes from organic chemical processing, manufacturing, formulation, supply and /or use:
There are no plants for production of organic chemicals, plastic & rubber, dyes & pigments, fats, soaps and grease as well as of fine organic chemicals. There is however a plant in Moorreesburg producing plastic tanks from raw material. No hazardous waste is produced during the process.
Waste arises from the use of agricultural remedies that are used on a large scale in the farming environment. Most of the suppliers return empty containers. Farmers have developed an environmental responsibility as there is increased washed and quartered plastic containers taken to the Highlands MRF for recycling.
Pharmaceutical waste is separated from HCRW originating in the treatment of humans and animals. The pharmaceutical mass sent to incineration is not determined in great detail. The Swartland Hospital has an average mass of 30 kg of pharmaceuticals to be disposed of per month from the ward, Community Care Clinics, satellites and various old age homes.
It is very difficult to evaluate the mass of disposed pharmaceuticals as many households dump old medicines in general municipal waste bins. Pharmacies do not often accept redundant medicines as suppliers do not exercise Duty of Care.
7. Wastes from thermal processes:
Thermal processing such as power stations, iron and steel as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgical plants and castings do not occur in the area.
The milling of Calcite (agricultural lime) near Malmesbury generates no hazardous waste. The manufacturing plant for cement at PPC Riebeek is very seldom on line. The plant is started for a 6 to 8 week period twice a year.
Except for fluorescent tubes, HCRW and oily waste, other hazardous wastes are minimal. The use of cement in the manufacturing of cement blocks are limited to two small units. The lime wash water is minimal and re-used.
8. Wastes from photographic industry:
Minimal.
9. Wastes from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use of coatings (paints, varnishes and vitreous enamels), adhesives, sealants and printing inks:
The removal of paints is not a large scale industry. The painting of buildings usually take place during construction. Paint tins do gather at the Highlands landfill and are usually cleared for recycling.
Very little printing inks, adhesives, sealants and ceramic coatings are manufactured. Rhino coatings in vehicles and other minor spray-on coatings are applied in industry.
81 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
10. Wastes from chemical surface treatment and coating of metals and other materials; non- ferrous hydro metallurgy:
Raïel is a big industry producing metal knobs, handles and frames. Steel is degreased prior to use while aluminium is buffed. The plating of nickel, chrome and brass as well as the galvanizing of zinc takes place. Resins may also be added to plating baths for extra colour. All the rinses are treated in an extensive closed loop treatment system. Once acceptable discharge standards are reached, the supernatant is discharged to sewer. The sediment contains the metallic salts and toxic elements from the plating and galvanising rinses. The residue is drummed, producing 4 x 201 litre drums over a period of 4 months. Raïel is improving on the storage system of the waste.
11. Wastes from shaping and mechanical and physical surface treatment of metals and plastics:
The bending and physical shaping of plastic and metal is not really done except in engineering works. The water from steam degreasing is often rather in sumps of workshop drainage pits when engines are cleaned than in the physical shaping sector. The mass of dirt, grease and oils from engines is addressed under workshop sumps.
12. Oil wastes and wastes of liquid fuels (except edible oils):
Hydraulic oils are supplied and in use in the area. The spillage or disposal of hydraulic oil does not often take place. Oils from engines, gearboxes and other lubricants are collected when spent and removed by Oilkol for recycling. There was a uniform consistency in the collection and recycling of the oils.
There is one parts store in Malmesbury that have made a mess of the floors, road and adjacent storage area. The rehabilitation of the soils may be required.
NON-COMPLIANCE: There is a possible premises in Malmesbury town where serious neglect of oil handling and pollution of soils occurs. This operator must be reported in writing to DEA&DP ASAP.
13. Waste organic solvents, refrigerants and propellants:
Most spent solvents are generated in spray booths of panel beaters. A solvent is occasionally used for washing of car parts.
There are a few refrigeration and coolant suppliers/workshops for the various cooling stores in the area.
It usually is a self-contained industry.
14. Other wastes not specified in the list
Hazardous waste arising from End-of-life vehicles and wastes from off-specification batches and unused products are minimal. There are no gasses from pressurised containers, hazardous waste from storage and barrel cleaning, catalyst use, oxidizing waste and aqueous waste for off-site treatment. Waste from electrical and electronic equipment includes discharge lamps and fluorescent tubes.
Dry batteries are disposed of as general waste. The recycling of batteries are encouraged. The cost and viability of such a plant must be investigated. Wet cell batteries are returned to supplier in most cases.
15. Construction waste
Asbestos cement waste is a major problem.
The problem arises that various house owners remove asbestos cement tiles, roof sheets and guttering without being aware of any relevant Acts or Regulations. The demolition is either performed by a building contractor or even the owner himself, usually with assistance of day
82 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
labourers. The asbestos cement waste is often found in mixed general waste loads going to landfill.
The labourers/person exposed to the fibre when handling the asbestos waste is often not even aware that they can refuse to do the work for a demolition contractor (often an ignorant owner and not Registered by Department of Labour as a Contractor) if not trained in safety occupational health requirements for asbestos cement waste in the OSH ACT. Labourers must be supplied with PPE.
16. Wastes from human or animal health care and/or related research
Health Care Risk Waste (HCRW):
Classification of HCRW:
HCRW requires no special classification in terms of SANS 10234. It is pre-classified as 2b(iii). Refer to NEMWA (Regulation 634: Chapter 7: Annexure 1 of) stating that waste specified in condition 2 of the Annexure, does not require classification in terms of Regulation 4(1) or Assessment in Regulation 8 (a)(1). Condition 2b, Hazardous Waste: 2b(i) Hazardous waste, asbestos waste and 2b (iii) Other: Health Care Risk Waste.
Generators: The Swartland Hospital is by far the biggest generator of HCRW in the footprint of the municipality. The private medical doctors and nursing staff at clinics contribute to the generation of a lot of sharps, mainly injection needles. There are also dentists, veterinary services and related medical fields.

Storage: Bulk medical waste is stored by the hospital in a specific storage room, holding HCRW from Clinic, Satellites and NGO’s such as CDC and Sinethemba. Separation of HCRW, packing and the use of dedicated containers as based on SANS 10248-3, are complied with.
Transport: All the HCRW transporters are registered with DEA&DP in terms of the relevant HCRW legislation as well as CCT Integrated Waste By-Law 2009 (amended 2010) and the Policy for the Accreditation of a Service Provider of waste management services in Cape Town (C47/10/09). For the list of relevant transporters, refer below in DISPOSAL CONTRACTOR.
Disposal Contractor: All the HCRW final treatment contractors are registered with DEA&DP in terms of the relevant HCRW legislation as well as CCT Integrated Waste By Law 2009 (amended 2010) and the Policy for the Accreditation of a Service Provider of waste management services in Cape Town (C47/10/09).

They are: BCL as transporter and Incineration contractor Canon Hygiene as transporter SWT as transporter and EDT treatment facility Waste Man as transporter
Final Disposal: All the ash from the incineration of HCRW and treated residue of the ETD plant is disposed of at the Vissershok Private Landfill known as VWMF. This facility is Licenced in terms of NEM:WA, 2008
NON-COMPLIANCE:
Sisters transport all HCRW from satellite and clinics to the Hospital for collection by the HCRW contractor. Contaminated nappies possibly arising at Hospitals only. If bulk is contaminated during an outbreak of infectious disease, nappies should be classified and handled as pathogenic material.
MASS GENERATED:
Note that 99% is taken across the municipal border to Cape Town for incineration and final disposal.
Mass of HCRW: 7 tonnes per annum, excl. nappies and sanitary waste.
The correctional services contact in charge of the hospital in Malmesbury B and the Clinic in Riebeeck West is unresponsive. His office was pursued electronically and telephonically until his details were obtained. E-mails to his desk and colleagues proved unresponsive.
Nappies - No volumes/mass are available, no records are kept. Nappies are collected by the municipality with G waste and disposed at Highlands.
17. Waste from waste management facilities
No hazardous wastes are generated by aerobic and/or anaerobic plants, leachate from landfills, soil remediation, oil generation and shredding of metal containing wastes.
3.3.5.2 Household hazardous waste
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is not a priority identified by the municipality. The public is probably also not requesting a special service for HHW.
However, rinsed glass and plastic HHW containers at the MRF, immaterial of the collections and transporting contractor, must have been obtained from home owners.
Fluorescent tubes from households are very problematic. Such tubes and compact lights may arrive in the general waste or brought by the public to the Highlands landfill. The contractor with support from the municipality allowed this activity as a service to the general public who has no disposal option. The larger retailer, hardware stores and suppliers are not keen to accept such waste, leaving the public with a challenge not to illegally dump such waste.
A waste contract for the removal of fluorescent tubes can be advertised and paid for by the municipality as a service to the public. Contractors have a variety of safe boxes to choose from for holding unbroken tubes together in a safe manner, until filled. There is a contractor with a more rigid container for unbroken tube storage as well as a container that sealed tightly and holds the broken content. The storage thereof should be in a safe, waterproof container or office on site, well ventilated and contained if a breakage or spill occurs. The same contractor will collect the storage containers once full, thus reducing transport cost.
84 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
It is also important to know that a company recycling the content of the fluorescent tube for beneficiation, is opening a Cape Town office. For a minimal fee, the tubes are taken to the Ekurhuleni factory where the phosphorous is scraped off the glass, the mercury reclaimed, the metal electrodes re-used and the glass recycled. Waste contractors can make use of this option rather than disposal thereof.
Pioneer Mill and Pasta, two separate depots make use of two separate waste contractors. Disposal of fluorescent tubes is not co-ordinated.
3.4 EXISTING WASTE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE, SYSTEMS AND PRACTICES
This section discusses the current solid waste management system in the Swartland Municipality. This includes the organisational structure of the Municipality, solid waste collection methods and vehicles, collection schedules, diversion, treatment and disposal.
3.4.1 Organisational structure
Solid waste management or cleansing services for the Swartland Municipality falls under civil engineering services, of whom the director is Mr A. Botha. The manager of cleansing services, which entails refuse collection, street cleansing, recycling and disposal, is Mr F. Bruwer.
Chapter 3 of the Waste Act states that:
“10.(3) Each municipality authorised to carry out waste management services by the Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act No. 117 of 1998), must designate in writing a waste management officer from its administration to be responsible for co-ordinating matters pertaining to waste management in that municipality. (4) A power delegated or a duty assigned to a waste management officer by virtue of subsection (3) may be sub-delegated of further assigned by that officer to another official in the service of the same administration, subject to such limitations or conditions as may be determined by the municipality. (5) Waste management officers must co-ordinate their activities with other waste management activities in the manner set out in the national waste management strategy established in terms of section 6 or determined by the Minister by notice in the Gazette.”
The manager of cleansing services, Mr F Bruwer was appointed as waste management officer (WMO) through Council resolution as per the requirements set in the Waste Act and he assumes the above listed responsibilities. Refer to Annexure 2 for the Council decision that was taken on 23 January 2013.
The refuse removal, street cleansing and recycling teams are led by the Superintendent, A Siebritz for the Malmesbury area and surrounds as well as by the Senior Foreman, J Jansen for the remainder of Swartland.
These teams consist of a total of: - 10 Senior Supervisor/Truck Drivers - 5 Machine Operators - 44 General Workers - 5 Gate Controllers
The cleansing services organogram is presented in Figure 3-6 below.
The organisational structure is sufficient to effectively deliver the current required solid waste services in Swartland. There is only one vacancy in the general worker team in Moorreesburg. This vacancy needs to be filled. Additional staff will be required as the towns expand and new developments are established.

The collection schedule for the fleet is reviewed annually during July (first month of the new municipal financial year). The year ahead is planned in terms of which areas will receive collection services on which days. Public holidays are taken into account and the collection schedule is adapted to render services on working days only. Mr Bruwer contacts the development services department of the municipality during the planning and therefore all planned new developments for the upcoming year, which may impact collection service requirements, are taken into account to ensure the fleet and teams will not be running over capacity and that all new areas receive services. Apart from planning the collection schedule for the various areas, the collection fleet capacity is evaluated throughout the year by the waste management team.
Once the collection schedule has been finalised, it is sent to a printing agency in order to show the collection schedule for each area in the form of a calendar. The calendars are distributed to the Swartland residents, which then indicate the scheduled collection days for their area as well as additional information printed in three languages. Every residence receives one and the dates run from 1 November of the current year to 30 October of the next.
A different calendar is developed for each of the three main collection areas. These are divided and displayed as follows:
- Malmesbury, Riebeeck Kasteel and Riebeeck West - Moorreesburg and Koringberg - Darling and Yzerfontein
The additional information is about collection times, allowable volumes to be put out for collection, allowable types of waste for collection, business waste collections and disposal site operating hours. Refer to Annexure 3 for the calendars that are distributed, displaying the waste collection schedules and the additional information.
A private contractor, Tshayela, was appointed as street sweeping service provider for a 36 month period via public tender in 2014. They are responsible for the cleaning of streets, public gardens and public toilets in the Malmesbury, Riebeeck West and Riebeeck Kasteel areas.
87 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
They are also responsible for supplying the public toilets with hand washing soap and toilet paper. All waste collected by them is disposed at the Highlands landfill. This includes illegally disposed waste. The service has been divided into areas that require frequent and less frequent cleansing. Areas such as the CBD are serviced daily, part of the CBD weekly and residential areas on a monthly basis. The public toilets are serviced twice daily.
The waste collectors (Private Contractor: Burton Niemand) in Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal are also tasked to ensure that the streets of these areas are kept clean.
The areas of Moorreesburg, Darling, Koringberg and Yzerfontein do not have private street cleansing services. The municipal workers do the street cleansing and public toilets when required in these areas.
It is recommended that private street cleansing services are expanded to all areas in Swartland.
3.4.3 Levels of service
The Census 2011 data was not used to reflect the levels of service in Swartland, due to the information being outdated. The latest information as reported by the Municipality and reported in the Greenest Municipality Competition are shown below:
Both bin and bag collection takes place, depending on area. Weekly waste collection takes place in residential areas and twice weekly for commercial areas with businesses producing food waste. The reported service levels are as follows:
Table 3-16: Reported service levels
Service area Door to door Door to door Waste skips % for area bin collection black bags Residential: High income 5% 95% 100% Residential: Low income 1% 97% 2% 100% Residential: Informal 70% 30% 100% Business/Commercial 40% 58% 2% 100%
The above information shows waste collection services are available to all formal and informal households.
Not included in the above are farms. It is not feasible for the Municipality to deliver door-to-door waste collection services to farms due to the large transport distances and remote residence locations. Only farms located on collection routes are serviced. Farmers buy coupons at the municipality, which they present when disposing their waste at the available facilities.
Free Basic Services
Included in the above are the services rendered to indigent households. There are a total of 8 388 registered indigent households in the Municipality and 100% of these also receive waste collection services as reported.
Additional services provided are the provision of bins along major walkways and provision of waste skips for garden waste.
3.4.4 Waste related complaints
All solid waste related complaints are recorded. The Municipality’s main line can be called to register complaints at (022) 487 9400.
Mr Bruwer as part of the Civil Department have a meeting every morning to discuss all recorded complaints. The task is assigned to the applicable person who must report on it in the next day’s meeting. This is done until the complaint has been resolved and can be signed off as completed.
The main complaints received are about bag not being collected and to report illegally dumped waste.

The KPI’s of the Cleansing Department ensure that service levels remain of a high standard. The KPI limits the number of legitimate complaints received to 5 per month maximum. It can be seen from the above table that this standard has been met.
3.4.5 Waste minimisation, re-use, recycling initiatives
3.4.5.1 Recyclers
Apart from the Highlands Material Recovery Facility, the recycling stats are not reported by the other recyclers as the information is seen as sensitive.

From the above, the diversion of the total generated waste stream of the Swartland Municipality by the Highlands MRF equates to 5% in mass. The prices received for recovered materials delivered in Cape Town are shown in Table 3-19.
Table 3-19: June 2016 Prices of Recovered Materials
MATERIAL PRICE IN RAND/TON FOR BALED MATERIAL Card board 1300 White Paper 1900 Newsprint 1000 Mixed Paper 800

It is interesting to note that the time of obtaining the prices (June 2016) there is no demand for brown PET as the market is flooded with plastics, creating no demand for certain types. The price for all types of paper have increased on the other hand. This is an example of how volatile the recycling market can be.
3.4.5.3 Organic waste diversion
There are currently no municipal facilities where organic waste, mainly food waste and garden greens, can be diverted from landfill. Garden waste is disposed at the Darling, Highlands, Moorreesburg and Riebeeck West disposal facilities along with building rubble.
The organic fraction of the generated household waste stream is close to 50% as per the waste characterisation study discussed in 3.3.3 above. This indicates a large diversion potential of these waste types as a percentage of the waste stream.
90 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
However, even though the organic fraction of the household waste stream is high, the actual quantities must be assessed to identify feasible diversion methods.
For the current waste collection system, food waste is collected along with general household waste in bins and bags, therefore it is not separated and collected with garden waste. Garden waste is more easily separated from the rest of the waste stream, making it the first potentially diverted waste portion to reduce the organic fraction being disposed.
Approximately 10 to 15% of the waste stream is garden waste, which is above 400 tonnes per month. This indicates that a composting facility should be considered, but only if centralised. If the food fraction can be separated in the future and also composted at the centralised facility, it would significantly increase the diverted fraction.
Food waste from homes also increase the contamination of recyclable materials in bins and bags, therefore reducing the recycled fraction of the waste stream. Home composting should therefore also be encouraged.
As a start, it is recommended that the municipality investigate the acquisition of garden waste chippers or to appoint a chipping contractor via public tender. Mobile chippers are recommended to allow for chipping to take place on a rotational basis between Darling, Moorreesburg, Highlands and Riebeeck West. This will reduce the total volume of the garden waste requiring to be transported to a central facility, reducing transport costs, and also creating the option to sell the chips until the composting facility is operational. Co-operation with the Bergrivier municipality in establishing a composting facility should be investigated.
3.4.6 Awareness & Education
The Swartland Municipality conducts the following public awareness campaigns:
- Placement of 6 cubic meter bins in communities where illegal dumping is a problem. - Placement of 27 igloos at schools for recycling and organising payment for the schools. - Our public awareness has been upgraded by 20 000 pamphlets "what is the impact of refuse on your environment". - 19 Advertising boards (4m x 3m) throughout Swartland Municipality were placed to promote recycling. - Awareness prints on all public refuse bins to promote, reduce, re-use and recycle. - This recycling initiative and other town cleaning news are promoted to the community via quarterly newsletter. - The Greenest Municipality Competition is promoted on all municipal letterheads. - "Keep our town clean" car licence discs are distributed at schools and garages by traffic department. - Door to door campaigning in communities where illegal dumping is observed. - Assisting clean-up programmes at schools and the community by providing co-ordination, transport, bags, refreshments. - Currently SM together with TEDCOR is busy with a roadshow in 11 towns to promote recycling + cleaner environment.
Provision is also made in the budget for the training of municipal officials in solid waste management.

3.4.7 Waste disposal facilities
The operational and closed waste disposal facilities in the Swartland are discussed below. All of the Swartland disposal facilities that require licences are licensed.
3.4.7.1 Operating landfills
3.4.7.1.1 Darling landfill
The Darling landfill was first issued with a Section 20(1) Environment Conservation Act (ECA) permit on 5 January 1994, with a “Class 2” classification and permit nr. B33/2/710/79/P97. It was subsequently issued with an amendment on 7 February 2012 in terms of the Waste Act with nr. 19/2/5/4F5/5/WL0019/13. It is located to the north-west of the town of Darling.
The site is externally audited in terms of operational compliance. Only garden waste and building rubble are allowed to be disposed at this landfill. A drop-off area with open top skips are available where the public can offload household general waste which is transported to the Highlands landfill for disposal. Waste collected via door-to-door collections in Darling are transported directly to the Highlands landfill for disposal.
Figure 3-7: Aerial image of the Darling Landfill
The site is operated by the municipality and the following table provides a summary of the issues identified during the previous external audit. No concerns regarding informal salvaging are present at this site, due to only garden waste and building rubble being disposed and the domestic waste containers being removed regularly:

3.4.7.1.2 Highlands Landfill
The Highlands Landfill was first issued with a Section 20 Environment Conservation Act (ECA) permit on 10 May 1993, with a “Class 2” classification and permit nr. B33/2/720/132/P67. It was subsequently issued with an amendment on 4 March 2003 in terms of ECA and the nr. 16/2/7/G202/D132/Z1/P67. The amendment changed the classification from Class 2 to G:S:B-. It is located to the south-west of Malmesbury and west of Abbotsdale off the N7 highway.
The site is externally audited quarterly in terms of operational compliance. General waste is received here for disposal and is the only landfill in Swartland where household waste disposal takes place.
Figure 3-9: Aerial image of the Highlands Landfill
The landfill and MRF are operated by the private company Wastegro who were appointed via public tender by the municipality. No issues were identified during the latest external audit and it was indicated that the site is fully compliant with all the permit conditions. Informal salvaging does not take place as there is a MRF on site and formalised recovery takes place prior to disposal.

3.4.7.4 Material Recovery Facilities
3.4.7.4.1 Highlands MRF
The Highlands MRF is located at the Highlands Landfill (Refer Figure 3-9). It was initially established by the landfill operator, Wastegro and is also operated by them.
Since being established in 1997, Wastegro has successfully operated the MRF and through the years improved operations to such an extent that recovery rates plateaued due to facility capacity. Wastegro approached the Municipality and the facility expansion was put out on public tender. Construction started at the end of 2013 and was completed in March 2014.
113 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
The expansion of the facility included constructing additional lean-to structures onto the existing MRF structure to provide additional floor-space. The old sorting conveyor was replaced and an additional conveyor installed to provide additional sorting stations. An adjacent structure was also constructed to provide a separate meeting room / lunch area with ablution facilities and showers for the MRF employees. The external operations area was paved with interlocking concrete pavers to provide a stable surface for the storage and loading of baled materials.
Mixed general waste as well as source separated loads are offloaded on the apron slab of the MRF from where it is pushed onto the sorting conveyors. The MRF employees pick their assigned recyclable types from the conveyors. The unsorted waste, or tailings, falls from the end of the conveyors onto trailer-mounted containers that are taken to the adjacent landfill for disposal.

4. GAPS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
From the status quo evaluation the gaps and needs were identified and are discussed below.
4.1 LEGISLATION
In terms of international, national and local municipal legislation, the legislation itself is not identified as a gap. The municipal by-laws are comprehensive and do not require revisions at this stage.
Awareness of legislation has been identified as a gap and was apparent with the generators of special and hazardous wastes. These wastes have either not been classified as per the Waste Classification Regulations by some of the generators or are not handled in compliant ways. Not all waste types and quantities are being reported as required by the municipal by-laws. It appears that the generators and transporters are not fully aware of the national and local legislative requirements.
The non-compliances at municipal solid waste facilities are not specifically identified here as gaps, because the municipality is aware of these and regularly conduct external audits. The restriction in addressing these non-compliances in the short term is affordability which is discussed under 4.9 below.
Disposal facilities that have been issued with closure licences require rehabilitation to commence before the dates specified in the licences in order to achieve compliance.
4.2 WASTE GENERATION QUANTITIES
In terms of general waste generation quantities, the Swartland Municipality keep accurate records and make use of the waste calculator where weighbridges are not available. Quantities are reported to IPWIS as well. General waste record keeping is sufficient and not identified as a gap.
In terms of hazardous waste (including HCRW), not all generated quantities are being reported. Some generators of these waste types comply, but there remains a gap in information on the total and types of hazardous wastes generated.
4.3 COLLECTION NEEDS
The upcoming replacement of certain collection vehicles have been identified. Other collection needs are identified by the Cleansing Department with the annual planning. Another vehicle to expand the street cleansing is also required.
4.4 WASTE TRANSPORTATION AND WASTE TRANSFER NEEDS
Due to growth, the Yzerfontein, Kalbaskraal and Chatsworth transfer stations need to be expanded.
4.5 WASTE MINIMISATION, RECYCLING AND RE-USE INITIATIVES
Waste minimisation must continually be promoted throughout the Swartland Municipality. The expansion of the Highlands MRF by the Municipality and successful operation by Wastegro is commendable as the amount of disposal airspace saved has been increased and 16 new jobs were created.
Even with the successful recycling, the total diversion from landfill needs to be increased in order to achieve targets. With the volumes of garden waste in the generated waste stream, diversion options such as chipping and/or composting must be explored. The crushing of building rubble for alternative uses must also be explored.
Not all private recyclers report recycling statistics to the Municipality. This needs to be addressed so that recycling statistics throughout the municipality can be determined and reported.
4.6 AIRSPACE REQUIREMENTS
The Highlands landfill where all household waste in Swartland is disposed still has significant disposal airspace remaining. The need for household waste disposal airspace has not been identified as a gap.
124 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
In the medium term, airspace needs to be created for the garden waste and building rubble disposal facilities in Moorreesburg, Riebeeck West and Darling. Alternative options to the disposal of these waste types must be explored.
4.7 INSTITUTIONAL AND ORGANISATIONAL NEEDS
The personnel and vehicles currently cope with the requirements of the waste management duties, but will soon require expansion. The cleansing department must be provided with the sufficient number of staff and vehicles in order to keep up with growth.
The street cleansing operations are currently done by a private contractor in Malmesbury only. This service needs to be expanded to Moorreesburg, Darling and Yzerfontein.
4.8 IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVES
As mentioned above, alternative options to the disposal of garden waste and building rubble must be sought to minimise disposal and improve diversion. This is very important in order to achieve the 20% diversion target by 2019, as this target will most likely not be reached by 2019 through recycling alone.
4.9 FUNDING MECHANISMS
Funding mechanisms need to be explored. The cost requirements of many of the proposed projects cannot be funded by the cleansing department itself, even if it is operating with a profit. The amount of capital is simply too much without alternative sources of funds.
Waste minimisation will require financial support and continual public awareness and education (which is on-going and very important) is also a continuous expense.
The Municipality must make provision for the rehabilitation of closed landfills. With the requirements set in the latest issued licences (which take into account that some sites were not constructed with impermeable base liners), the rehabilitation costs have become unaffordable in the short to medium term.

5. STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION
Based on the gaps and needs identified, aligned goals of the IWMP and planned projects by the municipality, this section contains the objectives, timeline and required resources for implementation of the IMWP.

This person will co-ordinate the follow-up visits to the special and hazardous waste generators in the Swartland municipality to ensure that all these generators are aware of applicable legislation and are following steps to become compliant if High required. This person will also oversee the information gathering as per the by-laws, in other words, ensure that generators and transporters report to the municipality as required.

6. MONITORING AND REVIEW
6.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF AN IWMP MONITORING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
To ensure that the IWMP remains up to date as far as practically possible and stays relevant, it must go through a review process. This process will be initiated and followed by the IWMP advisory committee.
The committee will review the proposed projects and implementation items contained in the IWMP. The committee should consist of at least the following persons:
- The Swartland Waste Management Officer (Mr F. Bruwer) with assistance from the Cleansing Department’s Supervisors and Foremen. - The Swartland Civil Engineering Services Director (Mr A. Botha) - The Swartland Municipality’s appointed consultant, but only if required.
The members of the Committee, responsible for their separate tasks, will ensure that projects are followed, reported on and the IWMP and its schedule are up to date.
6.2 MONITORING SCHEDULE OR PROGRAMME
For the IWMP to be an effective and relevant tool and guide for integrated waste management in the Swartland Municipality, it will need to be monitored and reviewed. Monitoring relates to the goals and targets set out in the IWMP and whether they are being achieved or pursued. Reviewing relates to the document and the projects themselves which will require regular updates to stay up-to-date, specifically the implementation items of Section 5. The proposed implementation schedule as well as allocated budget may change at any time and these changes, if any, need to be reflected in the reviewed IWMP to avoid confusion.
The following diagram illustrates the initial review cycle when a new IWMP is developed:
Public comment IWMP third gen. phase: Tie-in IWMP final IWMP third gen. draft document with IDP document final document developed development developed submitted for (Swartland (Public & (Swartland Council approval Municipality) Government e.g. Municipality) D:EA&DP)
The implementation of the third generation IWMP will start following Council approval. Apart from the continuous project implementation and goal tracking, which must be done by each individual project team as and when each project is running and report to Mr Bruwer, an annual IWMP report must be submitted along with the other Municipal annual reports and a copy sent to D:EA&DP as well.
As per the Waste Act, the IWMP annual report must reflect the following:
a. the extent to which the plan has been implemented during the period; b. the waste management initiatives that have been undertaken during the reporting period; c. the delivery of waste management services and measures taken to secure the efficient delivery of waste management services, if applicable; d. the level of compliance with the plan and any applicable waste management standards; e. the measures taken to secure compliance with waste management standards; f. the waste management monitoring activities; g. the actual budget expended on implementing the plan; h. the measures that have been taken to make any necessary amendments to the plan; i. in the case of a province, the extent to which municipalities comply with the plan and, in the event of any non-compliance with the plan, the reasons for such non-compliance: and j. any other requirements as may be prescribed by the Minister.
132 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
IWMP implementation 5-yearly IWMP next IWMP implementation report submitted by generation update schedule start date Swartland Municipality (Generation 4 to follow (Annually by 30 May) 2021)
The annual implementation reports will be submitted by the Swartland Municipality and will be compiled by Mr Bruwer, or to whom the task is delegated by him. The annual report must contain the approved implementation items and dates of the IWMP and the progress thereof of the past year. Based on the progress and possible new budget allocations, the implementation schedule of the IWMP must be updated and included in the annual report. This new implementation schedule must provide for 3 upcoming years from the report date.
The progress of each task on the implementation schedule, if under way according to the schedule for that year, must be summarised and the estimated completion date must be updated. The reasons for the lack of progress or practical difficulties must be stated along with a summarised action plan to adhere to the schedule as close as possible. This does not infer that the implementation items themselves are only reviewed once per year. Each item and progress must be continually evaluated by the persons responsible. This will allow the information, whether a project has been completed or is on-going, to be included in the annual report and allow for the implementation schedule of the IWMP to be updated as part of the IWMP annual review process.
The report must further discuss the effectiveness of completed projects. For example, when a new weighbridge has been commissioned, the collected data must be reported on and added to the IPWIS. Also the participation rates of source separation can be monitored along with the public awareness and education campaign. See Annexure 6 for an example of a project review form which can be used to track the success and effectiveness of the waste management projects and added to the annual report. The way in which projects are tracked for review are not prescribed, as long as it is done in order to measure the success of addressing the identified gaps and requirements and to identify and plan for new gaps and needs.
Wherever issues are reported or identified in the projects, these issues must also be evaluated in terms of the relevant legislation and by-laws. It must be stated if there is relevant legislation applicable to the issue and if so, was it the lack of enforcement, for example, that caused the issue. If no relevant legislation exists, it must be noted to adapt the by-laws accordingly in future revisions.
Below is the proposed review cycle and amendment procedure of the IWMP and its projects:
Review start: March annually along with municipal budget reviews
Include assessments, continuously conducted, of Update IWMP and submit running projects in terms annual report by 30 May of progress, completion, effectiveness
Update implementation schedule in light of Determine project reviews, new resources required budget and upcoming projects

6.3 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The Swartland Municipality sets Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) that need to be continually achieved by the Cleansing and Civil Engineering Services departments relating to solid waste and service delivery. These KPI’s are detailed in the table below:
Table 6-1: Key Performance Indicators

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Through this 3rd generation IWMP development, the current solid waste management system of the Swartland Municipality has been assessed in order to determine the adequacy, shortcomings and possible improvements.
It can be seen that the Swartland Municipality delivers a high standard of solid waste services in terms of general waste collection, post-collection recycling and disposal. Service levels are maintained by means of the regular collection service review and planning. Recycling has improved since the expansion of the Highlands MRF.
During the process of the implementation of the municipality’s IWMP, and arising from the public consultation process, further input and/or corrections to the report may come to light that will then be added as a revision to the report.
The strategic objectives for integrated waste management in Swartland Municipality can be summarised as follows:
To ensure that Waste Management in the Swartland Municipal Area complies with South African and International environmental standards so that it is beneficial to industrial and agricultural growth and the public’s right to a clean and healthy environment. To minimise the entrance of material of value into the waste stream. To reduce all waste so that nothing of value nor anything that can decompose, gets disposed. To store, dispose or treat all waste that cannot be avoided nor reduced at licensed facilities with regular operational and environmental monitoring and in accordance with regulatory requirements.
For these strategic objectives to be met, a series of implementation instruments (action plans) will need to be implemented. These implementation instruments as well as time framework within which it should be addressed are described in this report but need to be fully detailed at a later stage. The instruments are the following:
Awareness and Education Waste Information Management Effective Solid Waste Service Delivery Promoting & Ensuring Waste Minimisation Improving Regulatory Compliance Ensuring the Safe and Integrated Management of Hazardous Waste Ensuring Sound Budgeting for Integrated Waste Management
The above instruments, through implementation via their action plans, will ensure that waste management in Swartland focusses on avoidance and reduction rather than collection and disposal, but simultaneously maintaining the practical balance between the various waste management functions.
The analyses of the current waste management system has led to the identification of gaps and needs (Chapter 4) and these are addressed with the overarching goals and implementation (Chapter 5).
Legislation & Compliance
Legislation itself was found adequate. It is recommended to increase public awareness regarding legislation, especially generators of hazardous waste. It is also recommended to improve the enforcement of legislation.
Municipal waste management facilities are audited for compliance. The municipality is under way to address any identified non-compliances. This is made difficult in the short term due to funding. It is recommended that planning is in place to address compliance as soon as it becomes possible.
All facilities that require licensing are licensed. It is recommended to make provision to rehabilitate the closed disposal facilities according to their issued licences.
135 Swartland Integrated Waste Management Plan - Final Draft Report JPCE
Waste Quantities & Data
The data collection and general waste information is good and the general waste characterisation study conducted over the span of one year has been completed. The information on hazardous waste is limited as identified during the hazardous waste survey. It is recommended that generators of hazardous waste register and report to the municipality. Information from private recyclers also need to be obtained.
Waste Collection, Transfer and Transport
Collection is up to the required standard and continually reviewed. Some vehicles will require replacement and are being planned for. It is recommended to expand the Chatsworth, Kalbaskraal and Yzerfontein transfer stations to provide sufficient capacity for growth.
Most health care risk wastes are managed by private contractors.
Waste diversion
The Highlands MRF is a successful recycling operation that has been expanded recently. It is recommended that additional waste diversion measures are implemented in order to achieve diversion targets, such as garden waste chipping, composting and/or building rubble crushing.
It is lastly recommended to start with the implementation of the 3rd generation Swartland IWMP as soon as it is approved by Council and be included as a sectorial plan of the new Swartland IDP. It must be regularly reviewed as per the recommended review programmes and updated as necessary.

1.2 MATTERS DISCUSSED
FB opened the meeting and welcomed everyone. WM explained the purpose of the meeting was to determine the contents requirements of the IWMP and that the project team have a clear understanding of their scope of works. WM states that AN was appointed as sub-consultant for JPCE and will be doing the industry, hazardous and medical waste survey. HB operates the Highlands landfill and MRF and has already started with the domestic waste survey and waste characterisation study.
FB explains that the development of this IWMP must include all the requirements as set by the Waste Act and the Department in order to have the IWMP approved by the Department. There must not be any discrepancies between the consultant’s understanding and the Municipality’s understanding and review of the IWMP requirements. FB also requests that wherever possible additional expenses are to be avoided due to the constrained budget, but must not limit the development of the IWMP.
TL and DG explain that the new checklist for IWMPs can be used by FB for internal checking to ensure that the document is up to standard before it is submitted for review. DG explains that the purpose of the IWMP is that it is a workable document to be used by the Municipality.

ITEM SUBJECT ACTION BY TARGET DATE WM hands out a table of contents which include the main topics which are required in the IWMP and served as the discussion for the meeting (Addendum 1 to the meeting minutes). WM starts to go through the contents of the IWMP per heading as listed below. (Minutes below are in order of numbering of the contents list and not in order of discussion).
1.2.1 Introduction and background to the IWMP:
Terms of reference: WM states that JPCE want to list the requirements of the Waste Act, the table of contents (Addendum 1 to these minutes) as well as the Department’s checklist (This is for the municipality to check in terms of completeness). It is agreed by all parties that the IWMP requirements will be made clear during the meeting and that the minutes will serve as the terms of reference.
TL replies to WM’s question: It is not necessary to include the Department’s checklist as an addendum as the requirements will be listed in the introduction of the IWMP.
Scope of an IWMP: This section must include a description and give an outline of everything that this IWMP covers e.g. types of waste discussed and where generated e.g. farms, informal settlements, industries and businesses.
Methodology and approach to the IWMP: The minutes of this meeting will also serve as an explanation for this section of the IWMP. It must state how the IWMP development takes place. All parties at the meeting must agree to the minutes before they are accepted as containing the terms of reference.
Overall aims and goals to the IWMP: These goals must align with the Western Cape IWMP. Other documents such as the regional spatial development framework must be taken into account where applicable such as the possible use of a landfill as a regional site. FB states that using Highlands as a regional site is not an option. The goals of the IWMP must also be aligned with the Swartland SDF, IDP, and the National Development Plan. (Strategic linkages). As the next generation Western Cape IWMP is still in development, it is agreed that this Swartland IWMP’s goals are aligned with the current Western Cape IWMP’s goals and will be changed in future if there are significant changes to the overall goals of the new Western Cape IWMP.
Geographic area of study and ward zones: Indicate the maps and discussion of the Municipality. Ward zones are not required if sub-places are used. Include the geophysical and geohydrological conditions in this section.
District Municipality: Discuss the district in which the Swartland is located and what the role of the District is in the solid waste management of Swartland.

ITEM SUBJECT ACTION BY TARGET DATE Local Municipality: Include the policies related to solid waste and vision and mission of the Municipality. Discuss the relationship with Bergrivier and Saldanha Bay.
1.2.2 Stakeholder participation, consultation, education and outreach
The municipality/consultant can use the municipal IDP officials to assist with the PP process. The PP process can also be aligned with the IDP PP process.
Consultation with authorities: This includes all engagements with the Department in the development of the IWMP. The Department must be kept up to date with meetings during development.
Consultation with the public and other interested and affected parties: Relevant stakeholders from communities, industries, business, and farms etc. must be consulted. WM discusses the understanding of following a public participation process involves giving the public an opportunity to comment on and contribute to the IWMP. WM wants to aim at giving the public opportunity to comment on a draft document as opposed to development from scratch in order to avoid unnecessary and unrelated issues being brought up and discussed. The proposed method was to make the draft IWMP available at all libraries in the Swartland for a set period where the public can view and deliver comments on the IWMP. This period and availability would be advertised in the newspapers.
TL states that this proposed method is not acceptable and that in the development of previous IWMPs, important issues were raised by communities in public meetings.
It is proposed that ward committee meetings will be used as part of the public engagement and IWMP development. TL and DG agrees that this will be acceptable as long as it allows for solid waste “snags” to be identified in the communities. Evidence of these meetings and public engagement must be included in the IWMP and DEADP must be invited to attend such meetings.
WM and FB must discuss the way forward regarding the meetings as this WM & ASAP will exceed the budget should JPCE be present at the meetings. FB
WM is concerned regarding the time limits of the project, but FB states that final document approval will happen early in August 2016. The available budget must be spent before June 2016.
The project team is reminded that after the evaluation of the draft IWMP by WM & At project DEADP and after Council has approved the IWMP, the final version must FB completion be delivered to DEADP.

ITEM SUBJECT ACTION BY TARGET DATE 1.2.3 Legislation:
Identification of applicable legislative requirements: All relevant legislation must be listed in the IWMP, including municipal by-laws.
Current level of implementation of existing legislation: DG explains that this section should clarify what the impact of the latest legislation is on the waste management system and how it will affect the municipality, e.g. Norms & Standards for waste disposal to landfill.
Adequacy and effectiveness of current municipal legislation: WM is concerned with measuring and discussing this section as legislation can be excellent, but enforcement lacking. It is agreed that a discussion will be given regarding the existing legislation and if there are concerns, discuss with the Municipality whether it is lack of enforcement or what caused the concern.
International and National Treaties: International and National legislation regarding solid waste management must be included in the IWMP.
AN requires clarity regarding the thresholds of the Norms and Standards and when e.g. a generator must classify his waste at a lab prior to disposal. WM agrees that the focus of AN’s study will not be compliance by industry, but rather gathering data e.g. waste volumes to inform the IWMP.
1.2.4 Waste classification Waste types, quantities and characteristics
HB has started with the waste classification study. Information is available on domestic waste, business waste, industrial waste, and garden waste, building waste, farm waste, illegal dumping and street cleansing and also generation from different income groups. The waste characterisation study has also commenced. HB asks about the method of measurement of different waste types. He gives the example that organic waste can be separated (separated into kitchen waste and garden greens) and measured to determine the total % actually present in the refuse bag, but that this level of separation (include diversion figures) would never be feasible during the recovery process of the contents of the same bag. It is agreed that HB continues to measure the actual separated contents of the bag in order to determine the potential availability of waste types in the waste stream. It will then be discussed what is practically possible to recover from those conditions and how e.g. source separation can improve recovery. DG is concerned about the persons doing the characterisation study and if the required health and safety aspects have been addressed. FB confirms that there is no need for concern.
AN wants to know if there is a standard categorisation for the different hazardous and special wastes to be reported on in the IWMP as previously SANS categories were used. It is agreed that Norms and Standards categories will be used for reporting on these waste.

ITEM SUBJECT ACTION BY TARGET DATE Sewage sludge is discussed and questioned why it needs to be included in the IWMP as it has been impacted by legislation. DG will discuss with colleagues and if it needs to be addressed as part of the IWMP, WM will follow up with the Municipality. Sludge, abattoir, agriculture and tyres to be included. Sludge is therefore not part of AN’s scope of works.
1.2.5 Levels of service within waste generation areas
This section must include details of the services rendered by the municipality, to which areas and by what methods. This must include informal settlements. Include waste containment to various levels of service.
1.2.6 Existing waste management structure, systems and practices:
Organisation structure: Details of the solid waste department management and personnel must be included in the IWMP. Specify designated WMO and training needs.
Collection and cleaning services: Details of collection, disposal, collection fleet, etc. need to be included.
Service providers, waste collection, transfer stations, treatment, and methods of collection, transportation, and disposal: Information partially gathered by AN regarding transportation and treatment of waste in industry, etc. All other details of the listed requirements which form part of the municipal solid waste management system.
Waste minimisation, Re-use, and Recycling initiatives: Identify and discuss all initiatives regarding these topics. HB will be able to provide quantities of recycling at the MRF which he operates. Public awareness must be included under this section.
Existing technologies which are used must also be discussed under this main section.
1.2.7 Demographics:
All the latest population information must be used in the development of the IWMP. DG and FB will provide WM with the recent study of population statistics to use for the IWMP. (Social Development Report) The demographics section must also identify the possible impacts that population growth and new developments will have on the solid waste management system.
1.2.8 Economics & Financing of Waste Management Practices:
Current cost for each existing waste management system: This section must include the CAPEX and OPEX of the solid waste department of the Municipality. Include any external funding sources e.g. from Treasury.

ITEM SUBJECT ACTION BY TARGET DATE Current waste levy charge: This must be included.
Free services: This refers to the free services to indigent households and equitable share and how it is applied by the municipality.
Billing, collection, prosecution: Methods used by the municipality must be described here. In summary it should be made clear whether the solid waste department of the municipality manages to be financially sustainable.
1.2.9 Gaps and needs assessment, targets, objectives and policies
All the headings discussed under this section and as listed in the Addendum is not strictly the headings that will appear in the IWMP. The gaps and needs assessment and the chapters to follow should follow the same outline as the status quo to keep the thread and consistency. The gaps and needs will be identified in the compilation of the status quo. TL explains that as long as the status quo and gaps and needs are connected, i.e. if something is a concern in the status quo then it must be addressed in the gaps and needs and vice versa.
1.2.10 Implementation and Strategy Plan:
As with the previous category, all the headings discussed as per Addendum 1 might not be the final contents of the IWMP. The implementation and strategy plan will flow from the identified gaps and needs and main goals of the IWMP. DG highlights that the following are important: Development of goals, objectives, and targets; Responsibility of institutional and organisational structures and Financing, financial programme and economic instruments and to include timeframes. The problems with the municipal budget are discussed by FB, WM, TL and DG and how it can affect the implementation timeframes and planning. It is agreed that the planned timeframes and actions must still be reflected in the IWMP and if there are changes that it will be addressed in IWMP updates and annual reports. TL and DG explains that the section “Educational and training programme” refers to the training of municipal employees in the solid waste department. This should be dealt with under the Status Quo item 1.2.6. Please state this under Status Quo.
1.2.11 Monitoring and review
Establishment of a plan monitoring advisory committee: There is no prescribed list of members for this committee, but it makes sense to include FB and his team. Persons that have significant involvement with the IWMP and its implementation is recommended.
Monitoring schedule or programme: The IWMP annual report submission date is 30 May each year. It is proposed that the programme starts after the annual report has been used to identify and measure implementation snags if the IWMP.
