The amount of litter collected by the CCID in 2020 (the start of the pandemic and consecutive lockdowns) decreased to 583 tonnes. Now that the CBD is up and running as normal, we're at 1 226 tonnes – an increase of over 70%

Over 1 226 tonnes of litter and illegally dumped waste is removed to landfills from the Cape Town CBD every year by the Cape Town Central City Improvement District .

According to CCID’s urban development department manager Kally Benito, the amount of litter collected in 2020 decreased to 583 tonnes. The CCID’s three-month anti-litter campaign aims to keep the CBD ‘crime- and grime-free’ by focusing on curbing the problem of illegal dumping and educating business owners on how to develop and implement a waste management plan.

As part of the campaign, CCID Urban Management will be handing out flyers to business owners in town with information on how they can work with the City’s Solid Waste Department to manage their waste effectively.
