(i.e. contaminated with general waste or planks etc that probably originated from a construction or demolition site). Large loads need to be disposed of at either the Gansbaai or Karwyderskraal landfill site.
The Karwyderskraal Landfill Site
Overstrand residents who make use of the Overberg District Municipality's (ODM) landfill site at Karwyderskraal, are reminded that they only accept builder’s rubble, chipped garden waste and general household waste.
Residents, contractors or anyone who transports building rubble, chipped garden refuse or any domestic waste must first register with ODM as a site user. Unless your name appears on the database, you will not be allowed to dispose of any waste - even if you show up at the landfill site for the first time.
Registration forms are available from Ingrid Marti at imarti@odm.org.za or at the Karwyderskraal weighbridge office.
The Karwyderskraal regional landfill facility is open between 08:00 and 17:00 from Monday to Friday. It is closed on weekends but will be accessible should a public holiday fall on a weekday.

Waste dumping at the landfill sites and drop-off facilities will be strictly controlled.
- All occupants are required to wear their face mask at all times (no mask no entry).
