Tshwane introduces ‘no permit, no entry’ at waste disposal facilities
The City of Tshwane announced on Monday that from 10 April only valid waste transportation permit holders will be given access to its waste disposal sites.
“The city's waste management by-law requires that all transporters of waste operating within the jurisdiction of Tshwane apply for a waste transportation permit that is renewable annually from the date of application, in line with approved tariffs, explains city spokesperson Lindela Mashigo.
The implementation of the "no permit, no entry" is part of the municipality's regulatory frameworks to ensure that waste is managed in a suitable manner.
The city believes this will ensure proper control and management of waste.
Only vehicles with 1 000kg capacity and above, full of waste, are required to apply for a waste transportation permit.
“Private residents who are manning their gardens and generate waste material that is less than 1-tonne once a week, are not required to apply for the permit and can access these facilities free of charge,” says Mashigo.
