Issued by George Municipality | 14 July 2025
Please note that the George Municipality’s main building at 71 York Street will close to the public at 15:30 on Thursday, 17 July 2025, to allow for scheduled fumigation.
This routine fumigation, aimed at controlling crawling and creeping insects, is conducted every 3 to 4 months or as needed to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
The building will reopen on Friday, 18 July 2025, during normal office hours.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this essential health and safety procedure.
A fire broke out at the George Municipal Landfill Site on Saturday, 12 July 2025. The George Municipal Fire Services responded promptly to contain the blaze.
Following continuous assessment and close monitoring of the site, the Municipality confirmed on Monday, 14 July, that the landfill is safe for public access. However, all users are urged to proceed with caution and to strictly follow the instructions provided by on-site personnel.
Important Information for Site Users:
• A designated area in the upper section of the site has been reserved exclusively for soil disposal.
• All other waste types, including rubble and garden refuse, will be directed to the appropriate areas by municipal staff.
Although the fire has been contained by the Fire Services and Community Services teams, smoke may still be visible, particularly in areas close to the landfill.
Fire Services continue with damping down and water-cooling operations, while the landfill team is covering burning heaps with soil to smother any remaining hotspots. This is a slow but necessary process.
We are pleased to report that smoke levels have significantly improved since the weekend. The remaining hotspots are expected to be fully covered within the next two days.
We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation during this time.
