WASTE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL
C A S E S T UDY
INTRODUCTION
EnviroServ fully supports calls to look for viable waste management alternatives
to traditional landfilling. As a company whose waste management strategy
includes diverting waste from landfill, EnviroServ has a number of initiatives
which ensure the reuse, recycling and reduction of waste. These options are
not always practical, and traditional disposal at a landfill is a better option and
complies with legislation.
Customers can rest assured that EnviroServ has expertise in designing,
constructing, operating and managing technologically advanced waste
treatment and disposal facilities meeting the strictest standards for safe and
environmentally responsible waste management. The PPP Contract sees
EnviroServ managing the Gaansbaai GSB+ (non hazardous waste) landfill site.
In addition, EnviroServ takes the responsibility for the wood chipping from the
area, as well as managing the Material Recovery Facility and Drop-Off Facilities
on Pearly and Stanford beaches.
ENVIROSERV IS RAISING THE WASTE GAME AT
GAANSBAAI LANDFILL SITE
THE CHALLENGE
The operation on the landfill site
and facilities not only needed to
ensure that the communities were
unaffected, but it needed to meet
the Minimum Requirements for
Landfill Management as described
by the South African Department of
Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF)
as well as remain compliant to
industry standards and regulations.
