Introduction South Africa is estimated to generate domestically a total of 12.7
million tonnes of waste per annum. In the country, municipalities are facing
increasing pressures and challenges to provide waste management services due to
the growing waste generation. Every year approximately 3.67 million tonnes of
this waste are not collected and treated through formal waste collection systems,
resulting in large amounts being dumped illegally. Accordingly, South Africa
Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF), the Council for
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and The United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) have
partnered to enhanced municipal solid waste management. During this
collaboration, local municipalities’ challenges and systems failures were identified,
and potential solutions investigated to inform the implementation of interventions
by UNEP in country office. This report provides a summary of the findings.
