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.
