PUBLIC NOTICE: Waste transport guidelines for landfill and transfer station users

George Municipality kindly requests that all residents, contractors, and waste transporters ensure that all waste transported to the landfill site or transfer station is securely covered or tightly sealed during transit.

This precaution is necessary to prevent waste from being blown off vehicles, which contributes to environmental pollution, illegal dumping, and public complaints along access roads and surrounding areas.

Let us work together to keep our city clean and preserve the natural beauty of our environment.

Failure to comply constitutes a contravention of the George Municipality Integrated Waste Management By-laws, as well as Section 25 of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (Act No. 59 of 2008), which requires all waste holders to take reasonable steps to prevent the spilling, escaping, or littering of waste during storage, collection, transportation, or disposal.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
