Swakopmund Residents Invited to Comment on Planned Landfill Upgrade

The Swakopmund Municipality has invited residents, businesses and other interested parties to take part in an environmental assessment process for the planned upgrading and continued operation of the town’s Municipal Waste Disposal Facility.

The Environmental Scoping Assessment and Environmental Management Plan will look at the proposed improvements to the existing waste facility to ensure safer and more sustainable waste management in Swakopmund. The planned upgrade will include improved infrastructure such as access control, internal roads, a weighbridge area, recycling and composting facilities, stormwater management systems, office and storage facilities, as well as preparation for future landfill expansion.
