The new mini-dumping site in Geduld dumping site is complete and fully operational.
This dumping site serves to reduce the pressure on landfill sites in the area and to make transporting refuse easier for the solid waste department.
An increase in infrastructure in the area has been the cause of this excess waste.
Construction began in May of 2019 and final renovations and expansions began in October.
