We intend to suppress illegal dumping hotspots in and around Sebokeng through faster collection turnaround times.

“The station will serve as a central point for waste consolidation before final disposal at the Palm Springs landfill site.”

The municipality intends to suppress illegal dumping hotspots in and around Sebokeng through faster collection turnaround times for Zones 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11.
