Resumen

This By-law of the eThekwini (Durban) Municipality regulates the collection and removal of domestic waste and business waste by the Municipality in order to ensure the efficient and effective provision of this service. It also provides for the collection and removal of other types of waste (industrial waste, hazardous waste and health care waste) and the recycling, re-use, sorting and reduction of waste, and prohibits dumping of waste (depositing, discharging, dropping, spilling, releasing or storing of waste in or at any place for example in a water resource). The Municipality must itself, or through an authorised waste removal contractor, provide a service for the collection and removal of domestic waste and business waste from premises within its area of jurisdiction.
