The Amajuba District Municipality appointed Kwezi V3 to undertake the preparation of three Sector Plans for each of the three local Municipalities in the Amajuba District Municipality’s Area. The appointment for Integrated Waste Management Planning was only for Phase 1, the Status Quo investigation together with a guideline document for Municipal officials and an investigation on the potential for waste minimisation and recycling and the potential alternatives to the current treatment and disposal regime. Quotes had to be submitted for the second phase, the compilation of an Integrated Waste Management Master Plan. KV3 was subsequently awarded the contract.
The IWMP had to address the following:
• Relevant Legislation.
• A Gaps and Needs Analysis.
• A Waste Generation Model.
• Economic Analysis of Options concerning Landfill Sites.
• Collection Needs.
• Waste Transportation and Waste Transfer Needs.
• Identifying Recycling and Re-use Initiatives.
• Formulate a programme for the implementation of a Waste Information System, Capacity Building and possible Job Creation where applicable.
• Development of Goals and Objectives.
• Develop an Implementation Programme and Implementation Budget.
This is a draft report and contains the information as set out above and as agreed in the Terms of Reference. The information in the Status Quo, which was the first phase of the study, was used as basis to compile this Master Plan.
