This three-year contract aims to ensure compliant, environmentally responsible management of waste generated from road maintenance and construction activities.

  • Collection: Collecting waste from 36 cost centres across the Capricorn, Vhembe, Sekhukhune, Waterberg, and Mopani districts. Collection frequency will be determined by the department.
  • Transportation: Transporting collected hazardous waste using leak-proof, covered vehicles to licensed waste management facilities, avoiding nuisance conditions during transit.
  • Disposal: Ensuring all waste management options (re-use, recycle, recovery, treatment) are considered before disposal, in line with the National Waste Management Strategy. Loading costs are for the service provider’s account.
