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.
