DIVERSION OF ORGANIC WASTE FROM MUNICIPAL LANDFILLS

JG Afrika and RWA developed a strategy to help South African municipalities reduce emissions by diverting organic waste from their landfills on behalf of the Department of Environmental Affairs and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit.

Six locally appropriate feasibility studies to divert green garden, food and biodegradable waste from landfill sites were prepared.

In addition to identifying alternative interventions and selecting best suited scenarios, we drafted practical and financially-viable business, as well as implementation plans, while assisting with the applications for funding for the capital requirements.

A full assessment of their contribution towards landfill fees was also undertaken.
