INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING

All 30 muns have 2 generation IWMPs – some on the way of generating 3rd

generation plans:

• Plans lack detail which impacts on implementation

• Integration with IDPs

• Municipalities report annually on implementation

Breakdown of assessment scores of plans



Assessment municipal by-laws & drafting of standard by-law

• Text

Regulatory Impact Assessment of waste legislation (2013) highlighted the need for waste management bylaw with standardised definitions and provisions

21 muns has by-laws

15 by-laws aligned to Waste Act

DEADP to

develop model waste

management by-law

Improve waste management and service delivery

Easier for private sector to access waste material – to drive the waste economy

Align to NEMWA


MUNICIPAL SUPPORT

Strong support given to municipalities

Support with waste quantification , waste characterisation, registration and reporting to IPWIS.

Developed a planning guide, self-assessment tool and in the process of developing a waste characterisation guideline.

Training of landfill operators and giving technical assistance to municipalities on waste facility management.

Awareness and capacity building on integrate waste management and waste minimisation - training of Youth Jobs in Waste staff.

Developing status quo reports on hazardous waste management as well as green waste management.



Challenges in waste management in the Province

Limited landfill airspace available – increasing waste volumes and complex waste streams.

Limited municipal resources (both human and financial) - waste is not seen a political priority – impacting negatively on services.

Municipal staff has limited technical skills.

Municipalities do not see waste as a resource – (DST 2012 value of waste resources handled by municipalities).

Waste management facilities has low level of compliance to environmental authorisations.

Municipalities does not charge cost reflective tariffs:• residents tariffs range from R 50 to R230; and• disposal cost range from 150 to 650 per ton.

District municipalities do not get MIG funding there making the funding of regional WDF complex.



Cost of compliance of integrated waste management infrastructure


The norms and standards for landfill (2013) increase the cost of landfill construction and operation by more than 150 to 200% (example: cell cost from R 7 mil to R17.3mil).


Improvement compliance auditing

80 x authorities audits annually

20 x per quarter

Changed audit protocol of authorities audits

- improve efficiency & tracking of progress

Improve quality of internal & external audits

Training course design for auditors to improve audits and drive down cost of audits – in collaboration with IWMSA

WASTE GENERATION DISTRIBUTION PER DISTRICT

• Total of 8.2 mil tons of waste generate (CSIR Baseline Study 2012)


Improve waste information management - IPWIS

Registration of waste management facilities

Reporting waste quantities

7 facilities with

weighbridges &9 facilities with weight pads

215 waste management

facilities

20 muns do report to IPWIS

7 muns do not report

3 report irregular

2013 WC waste diversion (9 municipalities reporting) – 9%

Global Circular Economy



WC embarked on project to develop waste preneurs assistance tool

Recycling creates more jobs than it replaces.


Recycling- Employment of 12 million people in just three countries -

Brazil, China & USA.

- Sorting and processing recyclables sustain x 10 more jobs

than land filling or incineration per ton.

• It will be able to treat up to 200 tons of organic waste daily.

Drakenstein Municipality

• Drakenstein Municipality plans to develop a WtE facility.

• 3 Main phases: Agrressive recovery of waste material - 56% reduction in the amount of waste currently landfilled. Anaerobic digestion (AD) facility with an installed capacity of 2 MW. Direct combustion facility integrated into the AD with a total installed combined capacity of 12 MW, 10 MW generated from the incineration plant.

Establish a Special Purpose Vehicle – GreenCape:

• WISP, Waste Economy, Decision support tool.

DEDAT – project to developi waste business cases

WAME – DVD to fast-track role out of awareness to all the school in WC.

2Wise2Waste - reduce the carbon footprint of WCG operations – Green Procurement guideline
