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. During this time, the City is attempting to accommodate garden waste as far as possible at drop-off facilities, but space is limited. At times when these facilities have reached their capacity to stockpile garden waste, residents may be asked to take garden waste to Coastal Park or Vissershok landfill sites. Alternatively, residents are encouraged to take their garden waste directly to these landfill sites.
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.
