Accredited waste service providers

It is your responsibility to handle your waste responsibly and reduce, reuse and recycle.

About

The disposal of waste materials from residential or commercial premises must be done responsibly, and must comply with the City’s waste disposal guidelines. We recommend that you do not make use of informal waste removal services, but rather contact the City to collect your waste. Alternatively, you can make use of an accredited waste service provider.

If any waste is illegally disposed of, the person who produced the waste will be liable to a fine or prosecuted in terms of the  Integrated Waste Management By-law.

vehicle impoundments

If you dump waste illegally, your vehicle will be impounded and will only be released when the case is finalised, and you have paid the release fee. Whether you are a resident or a business, ensure that you dispose of your waste at one of our registered drop-off sites.

Any service provider who does not comply with the law could lose accreditation and will not be allowed to operate in Cape Town. All accredited waste service providers must focus on reducing, reusing and recycling waste, before simply dumping and disposing.
