communities, private enterprises and inter-governmental relations. The minimum requirements for Disposal by Landfill site (DWAF, 1998) defines waste as “ any undesirable or superfluous matter, material, by-product or residue of any process or activity

products that may contain a gaseous component and may originate from domestic, commercial, medical or industrial activities, but does not include any gas or gaseous products.
