Cape Town’s Urban Waste Management bylaw enforcement division is dedicated to ensuring cleanliness and implementing waste management rules. From October to December 2023, the team issued 980 fines totaling R1,257,000 for littering, unlawful dumping, and noncompliance with waste management schemes. Businesses failing to comply with the Integrated Waste Management Bylaw, which mandates waste reduction and pollution prevention, were a significant issue addressed by the team. The team’s efforts and regulations have strengthened Cape Town’s approach to sustainable waste management.
