The George Municipality wishes to inform the public about the upcoming refurbishment of the Transfer Station. Construction is expected to begin at the end of March or the beginning of April 2026.
To prepare for the refurbishment and ensure the safety of both staff and residents, the municipality will implement temporary changes to the disposal of domestic waste during the construction period.
Residents are requested to take note of the following important information:
Project Start:
Refurbishment works are scheduled to commence at the end of March and or the beginning of April 2026.
Waste Diversion:
All domestic waste will temporarily be disposed of at an alternative area within the same vicinity of the Transfer Station.
Traffic Advisory:
Due to the high volume of domestic waste being diverted to the alternative site, residents should expect possible traffic congestion near the facility.
Safety & Vigilance:
Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution and remain vigilant when navigating the temporary disposal area to ensure the safety of staff and other users.
Call for Patience:
The municipality kindly requests the public’s patience and cooperation during this period. These upgrades are essential to improve the long-term reliability and efficiency of our waste management system.
