Accreditation process
Our
Integrated Waste Management By-law, 2009, gives us the power to regulate, control and monitor the generation, management and disposal of solid waste in Cape Town. This includes the cleaning, separation, storage, collection, processing, treatment, recycling, re-use, and disposal of waste as well as the prevention of littering and illegal dumping.
Accreditation is necessary for everyone providing a waste management service and certain waste generators in Cape Town. Apart from the need to be legally compliant, there are also other benefits, such as: work opportunities with government and helping to protect the environment by diverting waste from landfills.
