Kraaifontein Integrated Waste Management Facility

Where distances to landfill for internal and external refuse collection service providers are too far to travel, they may make use of a transfer station to offload waste. The waste is then compacted into containers and transferred via rail or road to a landfill site.The Kraaifontein Integrated Waste Management Facility has a drop-off facility, materials recovery facility (MRF), a refuse transfer station (RTS) and a green waste chipping area. The recycled waste is pre-sorted by the householder prior to collection. At the “clean” MRF the dry, clean recyclables are separated, baled and sold by a contractor. All general waste is accepted at the public drop-off. The waste is also compacted into closed containers and transported in bulk to Vissershok prior to landfilling. Accepted waste material:<ul> <li>Garage waste</li><li>Paper and cardboard</li><li>Cans and metal</li><li>Plastic</li><li>E-waste</li><li>Motor oil</li><li>Clean garden waste</li><li>Tetra pak</li><li>Glass bottles</li><li>Polystyrene</li></ul> Waste materials not accepted: <ul><li>Hazardous waste</li><li>Medical waste</li><li>Sludge</li><li>Builders' rubble</li></ul>
