Limited space for garden greens at drop-off facilities until further notice

22 March 2021

​The appointment of a contractor to perform garden greens chipping at a number of drop-off facilities is still pending

​

Residents, and especially landscaping contractors, are advised that space is limited to stockpile garden greens at the following drop-off sites as there is currently no greens chipping service available on site:
 

  • Woodstock
  • Hout Bay
  • Kommetjie
  • Mitchells Plain
  • Gordons Bay
  • Killarney
  • Tygerdal
  • Wynberg

 
The City is working to minimise inconvenience as far as possible by transporting the stockpiled greens from drop-off facilities to the landfill. Capacity at the facilities is limited, however, and customers may be directed to Coastal Park and Vissershok landfill sites as alternative facilities.
 
It is expected that it will take approximately two to three months for a replacement contractor to be appointed to provide the chipping service at these sites.

To reduce the risk of sites reaching capacity, residents and businesses are requested to please dispose of garden greens at landfills wherever possible.
 
Any inconvenience is sincerely regretted.
