While 671 tonnes were dumped for free every month by residents and farmers during this period, making a valuable contribution, the eyesore of illegal dumping and littering is sadly continuing in Drakenstein. The pilot project came to an end on 30 June 2021. This service formed part of Executive Mayor Conrad Poole’s War on Waste (WOW) programme and the Municipality’s ongoing efforts and commitment to eradicate the plague of unsightly and unhealthy illegal dumping in Drakenstein. Since March 2021, Drakenstein Municipality has allowed for residents and farmers to dispose of household waste for free at the Wellington Landfill Site and Paarl Transfer Station.
