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 assignment: Polasi, T.,
