Municipal Services in South Africa
Municipal services are an essential part of local government administration in South Africa. These services include waste management, water and sanitation, healthcare, education, and social welfare.
Waste Management in Municipalities
The waste management sector is a critical aspect of municipal services. Municipalities must balance the need to provide waste collection services with the need to minimize environmental impact and reduce costs.
South African municipalities are required to follow national standards for waste management, including the National Environmental Management: Waste Act 119 of 1998 and the National Standard for Waste Collection and Transportation (MSW/TCST No. R 1069-2000).
