An Analysis
of Solid Waste Management

Driving force	Pressure	State	Impact	Response
Population growth Urbanisation Poverty Institutional Capacity Wealth	Inadequate refuse removal services Over consumption of natural resources	No access to waste removal services among 71-100% of communities. Illegal dumping in open spaces and informal settlements in Orange Farm, Ennerdale, Poortjie and Lenasia. Illegal dumping in most open spaces in Soweto & irregular refuse removal services especially northeast of Soweto and in Orlando and Diepkloof areas. Jhb CBD experiences illegal dumping and littering due overcrowding, urbanisation and informal traders as well as inadequate waste management.	Illegal dumping Litter Depletion of natural resources	Major response is on collection, transfer and disposal of waste. Improvement in service provision.
Domestic runoff (sewerage from toilets, basins, baths and domestic appliances)	Carbon Phosphorous Nitrogen E.coli	Inadequate storm water provision and bulk infrastructure occurs in densely populated areas.	Increase in environmental health related diseases Deterioration of aquatic life	Upgrading of service provision Regular monitoring of waste water in relation to water effluent standards
Industrial effluent (cooling and wastewater, fluids containing wasted raw materials and products)	Ammonia, Fluoride Nitrate Sulphate, Phosphate Calcium carbonate = high pH	Unacceptable pH levels occur in areas where the effluent exceeds 8,5 (alcalinic) or lower than 6,5 (acidic). Unacceptable pH levels mainly around Jhb CBD due to industries	Increase in environmental health related diseases Deterioration of aquatic life	Monitoring of waste water
Sewerage	A lack of sewers Insufficient bulk sewer capacity	Inadequate sanitation in Orange Farm as well as a number of informal settlements	Increase in environmental health related diseases Deterioration of aquatic life	Upgrading of sewerage systems and provision of storm water drains in northwest areas of Soweto.
