Kraaifontein Integrated Waste Management Facility
About
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.

- Garage waste
