3.5.10 Implementation of IWMP In Ugu District Municipality Per Local Municipality
Umzumbe Local Municipality
Umzumbe Local Municipality renders its waste management services in wards 2, 4, 10, 16 and 17 as indicated on the map in figure XX below. It is to be borne in mind that these wards do not receive the service in totality, rather through infrastructure that is placed (skips) in strategic point. For example, in ward 16, the collection point is Dustin Farrell TB hospital which caters for that vicinity. In ward 10 the service and infrastructure is limited to the Turton Taxi rank area. Ward 4 is the St Faith’s area where there is public transport and commuter activity and in the business centre of Phungashe, Ward 2. Lastly, ward 16 is an administrative centre where government buildings are located. There ae informal recycling activities taking place in certain areas by few aspirant informal businesses. Education on waste minimization is an ongoing activity although aspirant recyclers get challenged in terms of the market and end up seeking other opportunities in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality. As Umzumbe does not have its own landfill site, they have an agreement to dispose of its waste at Umdoni Municipality’s Humberdale landfill site, which is a formal and legal facility.
