City by-law enforcement unit issued over R4m in fines last financial year

The unit conducted weekly blitz operations in the City's CBD areas, totaling 55 special operations over the year. The by-law enforcement team also collaborated on 50 joint operations with other departments, including Public Awareness, Compliance and Education, Cleansing, and Safety and Security jointly cleaning areas where the homeless frequently overnight like Cape Town, Bellville and Wynberg CBDs.A total of 767 service requests (C3 notifications) were addressed during the year, highlighting the issue of underreported dumping. The City urges residents to increase their vigilance and reporting of illegal dumping in the coming year. With your assistance, the City can impose fines that deter illegal dumping, protecting our communities' health and encouraging proper disposal at designated drop-offs or landfills. Vehicles with a carrying capacity of less than 1,5 tonnes can drop off up to three loads of rubble or other accepted waste types at our network of drop-off sites daily, free of charge. With these facilities there is simply no excuse for illegal dumping. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20by-law%20enforcement%20unit%20issued%20over%20R4m%20in%20fines%20last%20financial%20year.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure>For more information on drop-off sites and accepted materials, visit: <a href="/mediacentre/Lists/Media%20Releases/capetown.gov.za" target="_blank">SW_Drop-off_Table_and_Operating_Times.pdf</a>.'Recent downpours have shown how dumping into rivers and canals can lead to flooding, endangering health and property. We've also seen a significant increase in litter washing up on our beaches, as waste dropped in Cape Town is carried out to the ocean. I appeal to communities living near rivers to help us eliminate these issues. Legal and safe disposal options are available, and those who choose the lazy option of dumping must be reported or confronted,' said Alderman Grant Twigg, Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Waste Management.To report illegal dumping, please call our 24-hour toll-free number (0800 110077). Be sure to include any information that can assist officers in proving guilt, such as a photo of the vehicle involved, including the license plate number. End
