Integrated Pollutant and Waste Information System

The Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning works closely with municipalities and industry to improve how waste is managed in the Western Cape.

Municipalities are required to submit monthly waste reports on the waste quantities disposed of and diverted from waste disposal facilities via the Integrated Pollutant and Waste Information System (IPWIS). 

Municipalities use either weighbridge records, landfill airspace calculators or the Department’s waste calculator to complete the waste reports.
