AN INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN: THE CHALLENGE OF IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT - A SOUTH AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE

摘要

The advent of a strong Waste management Regulatory Framework encompassing the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008) and the National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) (2011) compels Municipalities in the country to implement and manage an Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) and integrate it into the IDP aligning it to all services. A growing population (sprawling urbinization), additional pressure by communities on infrastructure requirements, increased demand for basic services (water, waste, and sanitasion) require that an effort is made to meet the demands for the present and future.
