  • Midvaal residents (account holders who pay rates and taxes) are not charged disposal fees but are still required to present a valid permit to access the site.
  • Businesses are subject to disposal fees based on the weight (tons) of the waste disposed. A schedule of fees is available at the entrance of the landfill site.
  • ONLY general waste is accepted at all Midvaal landfill sites.

ACTIVE TRANSFER STATIONS

The transfer stations accept a MAXIMUM OF 1 TON of waste per day from residents and small businesses.

WHY? Transfer stations are provided for the convenience of residents and small businesses. To ensure fair and efficient use of these facilities, MLM does not permit any single user to dispose of more than 1 ton of waste per day. Excessive disposal by one user leads to bins filling up rapidly, limiting access for others. These facilities also play an important role in reducing the volume of small vehicle traffic to the main landfill sites.
