The City of Cape Town will be conducting repairs and upgrades at several City drop-off sites during July and August 2025. This may affect the operations at these locations.
Upgrades and repairs will be taking place at the following locations:
- Prince George Drive (28 June – 12 July 2025)
- Wynberg (15 – 26 July 2025)
- Woodstock (28 July – 9 August 2025)
- Kommetjie (11 – 15 August 2025)
- Hout Bay (11 – 16 August 2025 )
- Gordon’s Bay (18 – 22 August 2025)
All sites, except Wynberg, will remain open for all accepted waste types for the duration of the repairs, however residents could experience some delays when making drop-offs.
Residents of the Wynberg area and surrounds should take note that the garden greens chipping area will need to close to facilitate work on site. Residents can use any alternative site for garden greens disposal, however the City would recommend the following larger sites in order to reduce the possibility of queues/delays:
- Mitchells Plain
- Woodstock
- Prince George Drive
The Wynberg site will remain open for other accepted waste types for the duration of the repair.
The completion of work is weather-dependent, and delays are possible in the event of inclement weather.
The City regrets any inconvenience caused.
