Please note that the bagged waste recycling collection service will now be rendered every two weeks.

Households situated in Hout Bay, Llandudno, Camps Bay, Clifton, Bantry Bay, Fresnaye, Sea Point, Three Anchor Bay, Green Point, Moullie Point, De Waterkant and Lower Bo-Kaap have been divided into two groups. Recycling collection will alternate between the two groups each week going forward. Group one recycling collection commenced the week of Thursday 1 September 2022, and group 2 commenced the week of Monday 5 September 2022.

The contractor has been instructed to issue extra bags to residents during the initial contract period to compensate for reduced collection frequency.

As per the table below, recycling collection in almost all areas will continue on the same day that residents are accustomed to, but on a fortnightly bases. The only change is in areas where locals made unapproved, informal arrangements directly with the previous contractor to collect on alternative days. Recycling collection in these areas will revert to the same day as general waste. Any further changes to the recycling collection schedule must be approved directly by the Urban Waste Management Directorate as the contract manager, and will be considered based on the contractor’s capacity.
