Following a fire outbreak at the Luipaardsvlei Landfill Site on Saturday 26 August 2023, Mogale City’ Integrated Waste Management operations team met on site this morning and would like to provide a brief update on progress made.
Firstly, Waste Management would like to reassure residents adjacent to the landfill site that no residential areas are currently under threat due to the fire as affirmed on Saturday.
Additionally, as a means of minimising inconvenience for residents and to ensure that daily operations at the landfill site are minimally affected, the operations team this morning identified a small suitable portion within the landfill site that will be utilised in the interim. This identified area is currently being prepared to ensure the safe disposal of waste for members of the public and our Waste Services personnel, we therefore appeal residents to refrain from visiting the landfill site and dumping illegally while work is underway. Residents will be notified once this site is safe and ready for public use.
Once again, Integrated Waste Management team would like to convey its gratitude to residents for their patience, cooperation and understanding over the weekend. We will continue to provide updates and plans concerning the matter.
