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. Download the prescribed report for this
