IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 3 1. INTRODUCTION

The development of an Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) is a requirement for certain organs of state in terms of Section 11 of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act. 59 of 2008) (NEMWA) for government to properly plan and manage waste. The compilation of this IWMP was done using the Department of Environmental Affairs’ web-based toolkit and in accordance with Section 12 of NEMWA. The process followed to compile the IWMP consists of two phases, the first consisting of a “Situation Analysis” and the determination of the “Desired End State” for waste management within the Municipal Jurisdiction, the second phase consisting of identifying, evaluating and selecting alternative methods/approaches for achieving the desired end state. This report, the IWMP, is a concise report including the information collated in the two phases mentioned above and provides the Municipality with a plan on how to manage and improve the waste management service within the municipal area. The Municipality is responsible for the implementation of the IWMP and the evaluating and reviewing of the plan to ensure that the respective objectives are being met. The plan will be reviewed annually.

2. Defining the geographical area

The Tswelopele Local Municipality was established in terms of section 14 of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, Act No 117 of 1998) and was published in Provincial Gazette no 109 dated 28 September 2000 and came into being on 06 December 2000. The new Local Municipality is a category B Municipality with a plenary executive system as contemplated in Section 3(b) of the determination of types of Municipality Act, 2000 (Act No 1 of 2000). Tswelopele Local Municipality is situated in the north western part of the Free State within the regional boundaries of Lejweleputswa District Municipality. The Local Municipality comprises two urban areas/ centres namely Hoopstad/ Tikwana and Bultfontein/ Phahameng, which are 60 km from each other, as well as their surrounding commercial farmland, and rural areas as demarcated by Municipal Demarcation Board.

Tswelopele borders the North West province to the North West, Nala local municipality to the north east, Tokologo local municipality to the west, Masilonyane local municipality to the south east and Machabeng local Municipality to the east.

3.1 DEMOGRAPHICS (POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROFILES)

According to official national statistics, the population number in the municipality has declined, with the 2011 census recording a marginal decline in population of 1.2% over period 2001 - 2011. In 2001 the population was recorded at 53 714 while the 2011 census put the number at 47 652 people. 91% of these are African black, 7% are white, with the other population groups making the remaining 2%. For the purpose of developing this document, the population and settlements are divided into various categories which include high income – low density settlements, middle income- middle density and low income – high density settlements. Rural settlement are also classified separately in this document. The tables below depict a breakdown of the different population categories.

3.1.1 High income, low density settlement

Population growth Base population 3334.00 Current growth estimates per -1.2% annum Future population estimates 5000.00 Population distribution Age: Youth 1100 Middle age 2000 Old age 180 Gender: Male 1600 Female 1734 Education: Primary 1000 Secondary 833 Tertiary 500 Employment: Employed 2334 Unemployed 1000 Table 2 Population distribution in High income - low density settlements

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 6 From table 2 above, it can be seen that only a small portion of the entire population falls within this category. Majority of the population in this category is middle aged followed by youth. There was a negative growth of -1.2 in the human population between 2001-2011 (IDP 2015 & Stats SA 2011).

Population distribution graphs:

The following graphs further give an analysis of the population within the high income group. Graph1 gives a picture of different age groups with the middle age dominating the others. Gender statistics are reflected in graph 2, and it shows that there are more females than males. Education or schooling information is reflected in graph 3 and from the graph it can be seen that only a small portion of this group are at tertiary level. The majority of youth are at primary schools. Graph 4 depicts employment status, and it can be seen that within the high income group a high number of the population is either employed or self-employed. It can then be deduced that waste generation is also high in this category.

The table above gives an analysis of the middle income - middle density group of the human population in Tswelopele. Based on the findings of Statistics SA (2011) that there was a decline in the human population, the future population estimates have been put at a minimum lest the decline continues in the coming years.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 8 Population distribution graphs: The following graphs as informed by Statistics SA (2011) depict a break-down of the middle-income category. From graph it can be seen that there are fewer people who fall under old age, and that middle aged people dominate this group. Females are also more prevalent than their male counterparts. Within this category there are fewer individuals who are at tertiary institutions, majority are at primary school with a reasonable number at secondary school. This category produce considerable quantities of waste given the fact that a sizeable number is employed.

The above table contains population analysis for the low income-high density category. This group has the highest number of people compared to other categories. The table is analysed further in the following graphs.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 10 Population distribution graphs: As reflected in table 4 above, middle aged people dominate in this category and this is also mirrored in graph 9. There are more females than males in this category as was the case in the previous population groups. In terms of education, a large number of children are at primary level, followed by youth who are at secondary level. A large number of people are unemployed as reflected in graph 12. Individual households produce less waste compared to preceding categories due to high levels of unemployment. Cumulatively, waste generaton is high within this category because of the high number of households and population.

The table above illustrates population patterns within communities that are classified as rural.

These are mainly communities that reside in the farms and on the outskirts of the municipality.

The information is further broken down in the following graphs.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 12 Population distribution graphs: Graph 13 below shows age distribution in the rural settlements. From the graph it can be seen that there are very few aged people when compared to youth and middle aged in this category. The provincial and national trends of more females than males can also be seen in this category as reflected in graph 14. The primary-school going children dominate in the education sector as reflected in graph 15. Waste generation in the rural settlements is minimal due to a number of factors which include poverty.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 13 3.2 DETERMINING CURRENT WASTE GENERATION AND ESTIMATING FUTURE WASTE GENERATION RATES AND QUANTITIES

3.2.1 High income, low density

The following were calculated on the assumptions that: In “High income” areas a person produces = 1.29kg/person/day or (1.29kgx365days) = 470.85kg/person/year.

Population growth Base population 3334.00 Current growth estimates per annum -1.2% Future population estimates 5000.00 Current waste generation and estimated future waste generation Current domestic waste generation rates per 1569.65 capita Future domestic waste generation rates per 7848.24 capita (in 10 years) Table 6 Population and waste management in high income - low density settlements

The above table illustrates current waste generation rates within the high income- low density group. Also reflected in the table is the estimated future waste generation rates. The future generation rates are based on the assumption that there would be growth in population numbers in the coming years.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 14 3.2.2 Middle income, middle density

The below calculations were based on the assumptions that: Middle income households produce =0.74kg/per person/day or (0.74kgx 365days) = 270.1kg/person/year

Population growth Base population 6905.00 Current growth estimates per annum -1.2% Future population estimates 7500.00 Current waste generation and estimated future waste generation Current domestic waste generation rates per 1865.04 capita Future domestic waste generation rates per 9325.00 capita (in 10 years) Table 7 Population and waste management in middle income - middle density settlements Table 7 above gives a picture of the current waste generation rates and the estimated future generation rates in the middle income group.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 15 3.2.3 Low income, high density (including Informal settlement)

The following were calculated on the assumptions that: Low income areas produce = 0.41kg/per person/day or (0.41kgx365 days)=149.65kg/person/year

Population growth Base population 35719.00 Current growth estimates per annum -1.2% Future population estimates 36800 Current waste generation and estimated future waste generation Current domestic waste generation rates per 5345.35 capita Future domestic waste generation rates per 26726.80 capita (in 10 years) Table 8 Population and waste management in low income - high density settlements The above table depicts current waste generation rates in the low income –high density category. Future waste generation estimates are also reflected in the table. Generation rates are higher than in the previous groups due to high population numbers.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 16 3.2.4 Rural settlements

The following were calculated on the assumptions that: Individuals in rural settlement produce = 0.41kg/per person/day or (0.41kgx365 days) = 149.65kg/person/year

Population growth Base population 11906.00 Current growth estimates per annum -1.2 % Future population estimates 11906.80 Current waste generation and estimated future waste generation Current domestic waste generation rates per 1781.73 capita Future domestic waste generation rates per 8908.67 capita (in 10 years) Table 9 Population and waste management in rural settlements

The above table shows current waste generation rates in the rural settlements. It is envisaged that the population number in this category will not increase due to migration of people from the farms to urban areas, this assumption is also based on the finding by Statistic SA (2011 census) that there was a general decrease in population between 2001 and 2011.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 17 Estimations of future waste per settlement graph:

The following graphs depict the future waste generation in the different settlements. There will be significant increase across the board, notably there will be tremendous increase in waste generation within the “low income- high density settlements”. High income - low density (HILD) category is presented in graph 17, while graph 18 represents middle income-middle density (MIMD) settlements. Low income –high density (LIHD) and rural settlements are reflected in graph 19 and graph 20 respectively.

3.3.1 Weighbridge

The municipality does not have a weighbridge in any of its two landfill sites currently. In as much as the municipality acknowledges the importance of recording the quantities of waste that enter the waste disposal facilities on a daily basis, it does not have enough financial resources to secure the relevant equipment for this purpose, but in future such will be considered. Currently the municipality reports waste quantities to the National Waste Information System based on estimates. This is done monthly for the Bultfontein and Hoopstad waste disposal sites. Waste generation quantities can be calculated using one of the following three methods: Option1: Weighbridge – Using a weighbridge a Municipality must record the amounts of waste entering its waste disposal facility, by weighing the vehicles at the point of entry and again on the way out. The difference in the mass of the vehicle between the 'in' and 'out' provides the mass of the waste. Option 2: Without a weighbridge – Municipalities can estimate the amount of waste generated by using a volume - density based estimation. This requires accurate records. Option 3: Sampling or conducting a waste stream analysis at a household/Ward level. As mentioned above the municipality is using option 2 to estimate waste generation in Bultfontein. Landfill attendants are trained to perform the onsite estimations and record the data. The information is then reported to the National Department of environmental Affairs.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 19

3.3.2 Waste stream analysis

Tables 10 and 11 below illustrate the breakdown of waste streams in the two towns:

Bultfontein Waste type/streams Waste generated per annum Total percentages (tons) Organic waste 6048.00 45.89 % Cans 90.72 0.69 % Paper 538.27 4.08 % Glass 544.32 4.13 % Plastic 846.72 6.43 % Construction and demolition 5100.00 38.70 % waste Tyres 10.00 0.08 % Other 0.00 0.00 % Total 13178.00 100.00 % Table 10: Waste stream analysis in Bultfontein hoopstad Waste type/streams Waste generated per annum Total percentages (tons) Organic waste 2952.00 49.95 % Cans 44.28 0.75 % Paper 262.72 4.45 % Glass 265.68 4.50 % Plastic 413.28 6.99 % Construction and demolition 1967.00 33.28 % waste Tyres 5.18 0.09 % Other 0.00 0.00 % Total 5910.14 100.00 % Table 11: Waste stream analysis in Hoopstad

The tables above represent the different waste types that make up the waste stream in the two towns. It is evident that the waste stream comprises mainly of organic waste that comes from households and garden waste. A lot of the garden waste is generated in summer during the rainy season. In winter a significant amount of organic waste is also generated during

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 20 autumn when trees shed leaves. Building or construction waste is the second biggest component of the waste. Construction waste or building ruble results from big and small developments that occur in the two towns. In certain instances the ruble is dumped illegally in municipal open spaces becoming the municipality’s burden. Plastic, glass and paper also occupy a significant portion when compared to cans. Tires make up the smallest portion of the waste stream. Picture 1 below shows a sample of the waste stream.

Picture 1 Different components of the waste stream.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 21 3.4 WASTE RECYCLING, TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL

3.4.1 Status Quo of Waste Disposal Facilities

There are two landfill sites that are used by the municipality. One is located in Hoopstad and the other one is in Bultfontein. The Bultfontein landfill was licensed as category B facility in 2015. The Hoopstad landfill site was licensed in 2016 as category B facility and it is also fenced. Access control should be improved at the two sites. A boom gate that was installed at the Bultfontein landfill site was stolen. Waste is not covered on daily basis due to lack of machinery and poor management of the sites due to lack of funds. There are Landfill Attendants at the Bultfontein and Hoopstad landfill sites who record the volumes of waste that enter the sites on daily basis. The municipality reports monthly tonnages that enter the sites to the National Waste Information System as required by law. There are no recycling facilities or waste storage facilities at the Bultfontein site. A recyclable waste storage facility was built at the Hoopstad landfill site and a guard house. Individual waste pickers/reclaimers are active in both the sites but there are no people residing permanently at the sites. There is no sufficient signage at the two sites. An ablution facility and a guard house were built at the Bultfontein site.

There are no weigh pads or weigh bridges at the two sites.

Picture 2 The Bultfontein Landfill site- waste is not compacted and covered regularly.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 22 3.4.2 Status Quo of Waste Treatment Facilities

There are no waste treatment facilities in Bultfontein, the hospital in Hoopstad does not treat any waste. All medical waste produced in the municipality is transferred outside the municipal area by authorized companies such as Compass and Clinix waste management. The municipality does not handle any medical or hazardous waste. The municipality conducts annual campaigns to raise awareness among local health facilities on how to handle medical waste. The table below indicates the findings of the 2019/20 survey that was conducted by the Tswelopele local municipality. The survey was part of the above mentioned awareness campaign and it was done to establish how the health facilities handle their health care risk waste. The names of the facilities will not be mentioned herein but numbers will be used instead to protect the practitioners from public scrutiny.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 23 3.4.3 Status Quo of Waste Recyclers

There are currently no formal recycling initiatives driven by the municipality. There are however individuals who collect recyclable materials for income generation purposes. There are also a few scrap metal buyers in the municipal area. There is one corporative that is involved in the collection and sale of recyclable materials. This corporative gets assistance from the municipality in terms of a storage facility for recyclable material and transport to collect recyclables within Bultfontein. Municipality also assists individual collectors on adhoc basis. The most collected recyclables are plastic bottles made of different materials (e.g. Pet, PE- HD), aluminum cans, paper, glass and boxes. Plastic bottles are the most collected among the list. There are large quantities of cardboard in the municipality that is used as packaging material, unfortunately this is not collected in large quantities as it needs proper storage to protect it from precipitation and other weather elements. The challenge in the municipality is the low prices of the recyclables, the fact that Tswelopele is far from the main buyers impacts negatively on the prices of the recyclables. Buyers often blame transportation cost for the low prices. The problem of low prices is prevalent throughout the province especially in the smaller towns. There should be some regulation of prices so as to benefit all stakeholders involved in recycling.

Picture 3 Recyclable plastic bottles packaged in a bag

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 24 3.4.4 Status Quo of other types of facilities

The municipality has benefitted from a project that was funded by the National Department of Environmental Affairs whose aim was to upgrade the Hoopstad landfill site. One of the deliverables that was developed by the project is a waste storage facility which will be used for keeping recyclables before they are sold to recycling companies. The facility can also be used as a buy- back centre. The landfill site was licensed in 2016. The lack of machinery to compact and cover waste on a regular basis has rendered the landfill sites unsightly, and waste is often blown away and scattered by wind. Currently there are no buy-back centers in the municipality. Material recovery facilities are also not found in the municipal area.

3.5.1 High income, low density settlement

Table 13 below illustrates the level of household waste collection in the high income-low density settlements. From the table it can be seen that all households receive the waste collection service. Waste is collected at least once a week in this settlement.

Graph 21 Number of Households receiving waste collection service

The graph above depicts the number of households that receive waste collection in the high income -low density settlements. It can be seen from the graph that even the indigent households receive the service. Kerb-side collection is the method used by the municipality in this settlement.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 26 3.5.2 Middle income, middle density settlement

Table 13 below shows statistics in the middle income-middle density settlement with regards to the provision of house to house waste collection. It is evident that all households receive the waste removal service. Waste removal is done at least weekly in these settlements.

Item Total number Households 4000 Serviced households 4000 Unserviced households 0 Indigent households 2900 Unserviced indigent households 0 Table 13 waste collection in middle income middle density settlement

Graph 22 below provides a picture of the status of waste removal in the middle income-middle density settlements. It is evident that all households including the indigent households receive the waste removal service offered by the municipality.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 27 3.5.3 Low Income, High Density (Including Informal Settlements)

The table below provides statistics regarding access to waste removal in low income – high density settlements. All households within these areas are serviced by the municipality. Only the informal dwellings do not receive this service. The same picture can be seen in graph 23 below, where a high number of households are recorded as indigent. The municipality must verify and update the indigent register in order to increase revenue received from providing the waste removal service because indigent households are not billed for waste removal. Kerb-side collection is the method used by the municipality in these settlements.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 28 3.5.4 Rural Settlements

The table below shows the number of households within the rural settlements. It can be seen that none of these households receive the waste removal service. The same information is reflected in graph 24 below. The reason for not providing waste removal service to the rural settlements is solely informed by cost-benefit analysis. These areas are remotely located, meaning it would be very costly for the municipality to collect waste in these areas. On-site disposal is the preferred and recommended method in these settlements.

Item Total number Households 600 Serviced households 0 Un-serviced households 0 Indigent households 0 Un-serviced indigent households 0 Table 15 Waste collection in rural settlements.

The municipality is using very old fleet to implement the waste management service, there is no budget to purchase new vehicles as can be seen in the table above.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 30 As can be seen below in graph 25, the biggest portion of the budget is for staff remuneration. There are about 58 people employed for waste removal in the municipality, this number is for cleaning the two towns and the townships. A reasonable portion also goes towards staff benefits such as medical aid and pension fund to mention a few.

The following table depicts sources of funding for the management of waste in the municipality. The bulk of the funds come from National Government’s grands. The municipality should also collect revenue from communities when they pay for the waste removal service. The municipality does not always realise this money due to poor payment of services. This means the municipality must ensure that it implements its revenue collection strategy.

6.1 CONSULTATION PROCESS SUMMARY

Community inputs were solicited during IDP/Budget presentation in both Tikwana and Phahameng. The following table presents a summary of the community contributions and inputs regarding the management of waste in the municipality.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 47 7. Implementation Instruments

7.1 PARTNERSHIPS

The municipality is currently managing waste without any partnerships, but will in future explore partnerships that will be beneficial to the municipality. The municipality has recognised the need to enter into partnership especially with regards to waste recycling and associated processes. For example, establishment of buy-back centres in the two towns will need the municipality to partner with an external stakeholder/s. Another situation that will need partnering is the “waste separation at source project”. Tswelopele local municipality does not have the required capacity to implement all the waste management programmes and projects, this is mainly a result of limited financial resources.

7.2 LEGISLATIVE INSTRUMENTS: DEVELOPMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF BY- LAWS

The municipality has developed by-laws and these have been gazetted. The by-laws are ready to be implemented. Currently the municipality relies on its Traffic Officers for Law enforcement. The same Officers will be used for ensuring the implementation and enforcement of the waste by- laws. The municipality will explore the possibility of training officials to become Environmental Management Inspectors (Green Scorpions). These will then ensure compliance with the by-laws and environmental legislation as a whole.

7.3 FUNDING MECHANISMS

The municipality is mainly depended on external funding for management of waste. Interdepartmental contribution, namely equitable share, is the main contributor towards the management of waste. Service charges also contribute a significant amount but there is need to conduct a full cost accounting to determine how much it cost to deliver the waste management service. This will enable the municipality to charge tariffs that are reflective of the cost of rendering the waste management service. Other funding sources such as the Treasury and the Department of Environmental Affairs will also be considered in future to assist the municipality with waste management initiatives.

8.1 STRATEGIC ISSUES

Table 22 below reflects programmes that will be implemented to ensure effective waste management in the Tswelopele local municipality. These initiatives will ensure that waste is reduced and recycled. The implementation of these interventions will benefit the municipality by extending the life span of the landfill sites (air space).

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 60 8.2 PERFORMANCE

The Municipality’s Integrated Waste Management Plan will be implemented by the Technical Services Department. The document will be reviewed annually to ensure relevance to prevailing conditions in the municipality. The programs and projects of the plan will be reflected in the municipality’s strategic documents depending on the availability of funds to implement such objectives.

8.3 PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY

The municipality will communicate achievements and challenges experienced during the implementation of the Integrated Waste Management Plan. This feedback will be done during quarterly performance reports, and public participation process as would be organised by the relevant municipal office/s.

8.4 COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN

As mentioned above (8.3), the implementation of the Integrated Waste Management plan will be guided by among other things community and stakeholder needs and priorities. Communication of the plan will be aligned to other municipal planning processes such as the

IDP review.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 61 8.5 FINANCIAL PLAN

The implementation of this Integrated Waste Management Plan is entirely depended on the availability of funds. The Tswelopele local municipality is characterized by a substantially high unemployment rate, this impacts on the performance of the municipality negatively regarding the provision of basic services as community members are unable to pay for services rendered by the municipality. The main source of revenue for waste management is government grands. The municipality benefitted from funding from the National Department of Environmental Affairs to address some of its waste management challenges, such as upgrading of landfill sites. The municipality will have to consider other sources of funding such as Government Departments (for example - Municipal Infrastructure grant and Equitable Share grant) and other funding agencies such as the green fund to assist with the implementation of the this plan. The municipality will also implement a tariff increase of 6-10% for refuse removal in an effort to achieve a cost reflective tariff in the 2020/2021 financial year.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 62

9. STATUS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT EQUIPMENT & MACHINERY

As has been alluded in the preceding chapters, the current fleet that is being used in the municipality is very old and not so suitable for collection and transportation of waste. The municipality uses tractors and trailers to collect and transport waste. The trailers are not covered and as a result waste is easily blown by wind. The loading capacity of the trailers is limited and this is compounded by their inability to compact the waste. The municipality should procure compactor trucks that can carry larger volumes of waste per trip. The following table shows the machinery that is currently used by the municipality including the working condition of these equipment.

Table 24 Waste Management Equipment in Hoopstad

As can be seen in the above tables, the majority of the listed equipment are in a bad working condition and this results in regular breakdowns of the machinery. These breakdowns affect the waste collection schedule meaning the municipality cannot provide a weekly waste collection service as planned.

IWMP Tswelopele Local Municipality 2020/21 Page 65 10. Schedule of collection The following tables show the schedule of waste collection in Tswelopele local municipality.

Waste collection is done at least once a week in all the formalized areas. Bultfontein Day Area Monday  CBD  Ward 4 (Kgotha area)
