New legislation, which was promulgated in January 2011, will force municipalities to conform to civilized standards of domestic waste management in future.
This means that waste segregation must take place in the Kouga in the not too distant future. ‘Waste segregation’ stands for separation of domestic waste into dry and wet waste. Dry waste includes paper, cardboard, glass, tin cans etc. Wet waste, on the other hand, refers to organic waste such as vegetable peels, left-over food etc.
However, The Courier – Die Koerier heard on the grapevine that the Kouga municipality is unable to meet the terms of the new regulations within the specified timeframe due to a shortage of money.
Hence the municipality intends to apply for exemption from the provision of the regulations until the 2012/2013 budget cycle.
At least Kouga households can look forward to local waste management that will be kinder to the environment than existing messy procedures.
