Solid Waste Management

The Municipality is responsible for a healthy, clean and safe environment. We are responsible for the collection and disposal of waste, area cleaning, street cleaning, preventing waste and pollution, and minimising waste in the Langeberg municipal area.

Solid Waste Management is made up of the following services: 

Cleansing:

We ensure the cleanliness of Langeberg's streets and public places.

Services include:

- Provision and servicing of public street bins.
- Picking up litter and clearing illegal dumping.
- Removal of animal carcasses from public areas and roadways.
- Cleaning informal trading areas.
- Overseeing and/or facilitating various cleaning programmes.


Refuse collection service:

We provide 240ℓ wheelie bins to property owners upon application and empty these bins, and collect waste bags from formal homes, every week. Place your bin on the pavement in front of your property by 07:45 on your weekly scheduled waste collection days. Placing your garbage out the day before could result in a fine.

Select your town of residence to see the daily waste collection schedule.

Other services include:
- Ad hoc removal of garden refuse.
- Collect recyclables in all areas.
- Participate in the mobile Swop-Shop project.
- Provide refuse removal services at events.


Waste disposal activities:

The Solid Waste Management department ensures legally compliant, responsible, and environmentally acceptable waste management.

Services include:
- Chip green waste for composting
- Handle and process recyclable waste at the Ashton Material Recovery Facility.
- Transport waste from transfer stations to waste disposal and composting facilities.


Drop-off and transfer stations:

Residents can use our facilities to drop off any non-hazardous waste that cannot be managed through the weekly scheduled waste collection service. Vehicles with a maximum carrying capacity of 2m³ can enter the facility once per day.
