Challenges faced by the municipalities on waste
r
Area cleaning
• Illegal dumping
• General littering
• Littering by the public in public spaces and especially in low income areas has created an environmental health challenge on rats, foul smells and risk of pollution.
• Unserviced settlements
• The growth of peri-urban informal settlements is major challenge. Standard waste disposal operation are not well suited for the provision of waste cleaning services
r
Waste collection
• Waste removal service provision
• Breakdown and maintenance of waste collection trucks
• High transport fuel bill
Waste Disposal
• No Environmental Management System and Environmental Management Plan
• Lack of internal and external environmental audits
• Landfill Site buffer zone determination and enforcement
• Low maintenance of equipment and lack of weighbridge
• Lack of groundwater monitoring
• Lack of ambient air quality and lateral gas migration monitoring
The opportunities in recycling
r
• Recycling rates in the country are around 10% (DEA&DP, 2015);
• The Department of Science and Technology reported in the National Waste Roadmap 2013 that the local waste sector currently employs approximately 29 000 people;
• That is around 0.51% of the country’s gross domestic product;
• An estimated 90.1% of all general and hazardous waste generated in the country is still landfilled.

The challenges that co -operatives face in capitalising on the opportunities in recycling
r
• A complex legislation and regulatory framework, specifically around compliance with environmental authorisations;
• Access to waste, especially Municipal Solid Waste;
• Access to market, some entities recycling waste do not want to enter into offtake agreements before the plants are commissioned;
• Access to land;
• Access to technical skills;
• Access to finances;
• Lack of business skills etc
Capacitating co -operatives in recycling
r• Requires smart partnerships between all 3 spheres of government and the
private sector;• Co-operatives should be assisted to set up waste recycling and manufacturing
plant throughout the country;• DEA, Provincial Department of environmental affairs and municipalities working
with the transaction advisor should facilitate workshops with an aim to prepare the beneficiaries;
• Co-operatives which are active or interested in waste recycling must be grouped into secondary co-operative structures;
• Co-operatives assisted by local government should embark on a campaign of encouraging residents to sort waste at source, and incentivise the residents that oblige through purchasing the sorted waste;
• District and local municipalities to make land available for the program for the construction of the warehouse and buyback centers;
• District and local municipalities to give full access of the landfill site to the co-operatives for the securing raw materials;
• Co-operatives should also be allowed to collect waste from all government properties;
• Municipal waste collection should be outsourced to the co-operatives to ensure maximization of waste collection of recyclable materials;
• Transaction advisors conduct a technical review on how much waste exist within the targeted areas using a PRASA model;
• Transaction advisor secures Offtake agreements with waste companies;
r
• Quotes sourced from equipment suppliers and contractors;
• Transaction advisors develop a project information memorandum and financial model;
• Funding for capacity building of co-operatives should be secured from corporates. CSI divisions of corporates should be approached to explore possibilities of funding training of co-operatives;
• DEA/Provincial Department of Environmental Affairs/Municipalities extend grant funding to finance 10% to 30% of the development costs of the waste recycling plants;
• The balance of the funding to be raised from Development Finance Institutions to fund the establishment of waste recycling plants;
• Operations and management contracts entered into with reputable operators in order to build skills within the cooperatives;
• Construction commences and Transaction Advisor to performs a project management role;

Key risks and mitigation plan
r
� Construction risk
This is the risk that construction will not: (i) be completed on time, (ii)within a predetermined budget, (iii) meet the specifications of theproject, thus impacting negatively on the project’s ability to generatecash. This risk will be mitigated by appointment of reputableconstruction companies to undertake the work. This risk will be furthermitigated through pre-completion guarantees and turnkey contractswith the appointed contractors, with built-in provisions for penalties forpoor performance and bonuses for better than expected performance.
� Equipment performance Risk
This risk relates to performance of the equipment to meet the required production. It will be mitigated through performance guarantees that will be required from the equipment manufacturers.
r
� Institutional risk
This risk relates to lack of experience of members of the cooperatives to be able to run the businesses. This will be mitigated through appointment of reputable operations and maintenance companies for a period of three to five years to help to up-skill the members of the cooperatives. Educational interventions will also be part of this programme to deal with financial management, marketing, human resource and technical capabilities.
� Market risk
Payment risk relates to cooperatives being able to find market to be able to sell the product and meet its financial obligations. This risk will be mitigated through municipality’s intervention of assisting with finding the market.
Project implementation governance structure
r
A governance structure should be established to ensure smooth implementation of any project. All relevant stakeholders should be consulted and included in the governance structure. In the case of waste recycling projects the stakeholders would be:
• Department of Environmental Affairs
• Provincial departments;
• Municipalities
• Co-operatives/SMME’s
• Waste Companies
• Others

Development impact
r
• The cooperatives structure shall broaden black economic empowerment;
• Diversification of local economy’s through creation of new industries;
• Revitalisation of local economic development activities in the townships, small dorpies and villages
• Address the market failure in incorporating youth, women and people with disabilities into the mainstream economy;
• Empowerment of emerging youth, women and people with disabilities as entrepreneurs;
• Creation of new jobs; and
• Development of new skills.
• Minimise waste that needs to be disposed in landfills, thus extending existing landfill capacity;
• Reduce the environmental impact of disposal sites as the bio-degradable waste fraction largely is to blame for the polluting leachate and the methane problems;
• Divert biodegradable waste from the municipal waste stream, thus reducing transportation costs and the environmental costs;
• Enhance environmental awareness in the community;
