Gauteng province, which includes Munsieville, is an economic hub and produces 42 per cent of South Africa’s waste! Over the years, the province has experienced various challenges relating to waste management and waste volumes, hence a waste minimisation plan and standards have been developed to ensure that the waste produced in Gauteng is dealt with appropriately.
On 13 June the launch of the waste management standards, held in Munsieville in Mogale City, introduced three documents to address the following areas:
• The Gauteng Waste Minimisation Plan
• The Gauteng Hazardous Waste Management Plan
• The Gauteng Waste Collection Standards.
The 45 existing operational landfills are under pressure from waste generated in the province. Constraints include competing needs for land, as well as opposition by residents to developing disposal sites close to their residential areas. However, proper disposal sites will create job opportunities through recycling, helping to alleviate poverty. The project aims to introduce basic standards that are uniform in all Gauteng municipalities and tackle issues such as limited refuse removal services in poor areas like Munsieville, which cause health hazards.
Waste management is a very important issue today. Each person and each company needs to find their own ways to deal with it. If we all work together, we can stop the problem before it gets out of control. We are all responsible when it comes to making our planet safer and more environmentally friendly. However, for proper rubbish removal there are dumpster rental companies available in your place.
ReplyDelete80% of the wasted products we throw out as Americans are recyclable, which is the scary part. That 80 percent of your garbage bag doesn't have to go where it is at the end of the day. Thanks...
