Saldanha, South Africa, uses a combination of public facilities and private organizations for recycling and waste management. Households and businesses are encouraged to separate their waste, which is then collected and taken to recycling facilities. At these facilities, recyclable materials are effectively processed, simultaneously reducing the amount of waste sent to local landfills. For non-recyclable waste, Saldanha uses landfills that ensure minimal environmental impact. In addition, initiatives to raise public awareness of waste prevention and recycling are continuously promoted.
