The municipality has lost at least R29 million in the last decade.
PRETORIA – The capital city currently has four landfill sites that are active: Hatherley, Ga-Rankuwa, Bronkhorstspruit and Soshanguve. A recent report tabled to council showed the municipality is not getting as much money as it should from the sites. For the 2022/23 financial year, the projected revenue from the landfill was R114 million. However, the actual revenue collected was R85 million, leaving a variance of over R29 million. “The income realised for previous financial years could be increased if the landfill operations were equipped with proper infrastructure such as weighbridges to support rigorous collection of billing data,” the report stated.
