Kannaland Local Municipality Waste Minimisation Plan Draft August 2021

The Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) has identified the need to develop a waste minimisation plan (WMP) to govern waste minimisation, recycling and diversion of waste from landfill across the district. There is also a need for each of the seven local municipalities in the district to have the own waste minimisation plans to guide waste minimisation efforts. The district is facilitating the development of WMPs for the seven local municipalities in the district to ensure uniformity in waste minimisation across the district. One of the key aims of the WMPs is to identify budgets required to implement waste minimisation projects to move the municipality towards achieving waste diversion targets set by National and Provincial Government.

The objective of a waste minimisation plan is primarily to minimise waste generation and disposal.

GIBB Pty Ltd (hereafter referred to as GIBB) has been appointed for the development of WMPs for the GRDM and each of the seven local municipalities in the GRDM, namely:

• Bitou Local Municipality (BLM)

• George Local Municipality (GLM)

• Mossel Bay Local Municipality (MBLM)

 • Hessequa Local Municipality (HLM)

• Kannaland Local Municipality (KLLM)

• Knysna Local Municipality (KLM)

• Oudtshoorn Local Municipality (OLM)

 This WMP addresses waste minimisation, recycling and diversion of waste from landfill for the Kannaland Local Municipality (KLLM).
