Landfills must be managed effectively and efficiently in compliance with legislation, licences and permits to minimise the flow of waste to the landfill, optimise the use of available airspace and minimise impacts on the environment.

In South Africa the local authorities are responsible for waste management. Waste management is one of the most visible municipal services whose effectiveness and sustainability serves as an indicator for good local governance, sound municipal management and successful urban and rural reforms. Waste management, therefore, is a very good indicator of performance of a municipality. The management of its landfills forms an important part of a municipality’s integrated waste management system. Municipalities as well as the private sector are involved in the management of landfills.

The adverse impacts of waste management are best addressed by establishing integrated programs where all types of waste and all facets of the waste management process are considered together. The long-term goal should be to develop an integrated waste management system and build the technical, financial, and administrative capacity to manage and sustain it.
