After months of inconvenience for all Mogale City residents, Waste Management is pleased to announce that the Luipaardsvlei Landfill Site will officially reopen to the public on 12 February 2025.
To ensure a smooth transition and prevent overwhelming the facility, the reopening will follow a phased approach. This measured rollout is designed to maintain operational efficiency while accommodating the city’s waste disposal needs.
Waste Management remains confident that the reopening will play a significant role in curbing the persistent issue of illegal dumping in open spaces, which has been a challenge during the site’s closure.
To enhance security and proper site management, the following new control measures have been implemented:
- All vehicles and waste reclaimers will be searched before entry and upon exit.
- Only registered waste reclaimers with municipal ID cards are permitted on-site.
- Pedestrian access is restricted to registered waste reclaimers only.
- Weapons of any kind, including knobkerries, spears, and firearms (licensed or unlicensed), are strictly prohibited.
- Only vehicles transporting waste are allowed entry.
- Parking around the landfill site is not permitted.
- Illegal dumping in open spaces will result in a R10,000 fine added to the offender’s municipal account, as per the Waste Management By-laws of 2023.
We sincerely thank residents and businesses for their patience as we worked diligently to bring the landfill site up to compliance and operational readiness. A special note of appreciation goes to those who continued to dispose of waste responsibly at nearby landfill sites rather than resorting to illegal dumping.
