We closed off the show with an interview with Barry Coetzee - Head of Integrated Waste Management Policy for the City of Cape Town. The City plans to introduce a new waste management by-law which will control recovery and recycling activities, and set minimum requirements for waste storage and infrastructure. We spoke about the Integrated Waste Management By-law. The by-law aims to ensure that all residents, organisations, businesses, visitors/tourists and government departments receive services from a legitimate waste management service provider. It explicitly spells out Council’s rights in respect of waste management services and its obligations regarding cleaning and cleansing – including for disaster management. These include the responsible disposal of waste that cannot be recovered for recycling; collection and recovery for recycling, and the processing and treatment of waste and recyclable materials. For more information call him on (021) 400 2992 or email him to Barry.Coetzee@capetown.gov.za
