Opportunities in waste management
There is a need for additional
composting facilities

from the informal settlements for recyclables
Recycling in informal settlements.
There is need for more transfer stations and continued maintenance and upgrading of current infrastructure.
Specialised on site waste management services
There is a noteworthy opportunity in the diversion of waste to landfill. The profile of the type of business most likely to be successful in this space is small, flexible and has access to
innovative project funding models. More garden refuse sites are needed across the country.
