The facility is being constructed with local labour and is expected to be completed by April 2022, if all goes as planned.  

​​To date, the majority of the structure has been completed with the finishing and external works currently under way. The external road and parking area, traffic signalisation, landscaping and irrigation still need to be completed with the final connection and commissioning of the electrical supply, water supply and fire systems to be concluded shortly thereafter.

The facility has been designed with separate access control points and roads for heavy operational vehicles that work on the site and the public’s vehicles to improve traffic flow and reduce waiting times.

‘A key objective of this project is to ensure that waste is reduced. Recyclables that are taken to drop offs free space at the landfill.
