However, while over 80% of local municipalities reported that they are initiating recycling activities in some way or another, they are struggling to get the initiatives off the ground due to lack of capacity or infrastructure (DEAT, 2007). The National Environmental Management: Waste (Act 59 of 2008) also requires municipalities to provide households with receptacles for recyclables.enWastesWaste managementWaste minimisationWaste reuseRecyclingCleaner productionWasteCon 2010Conference PresentationAfrika, M., Oelofse, S.
