Refuse collection
The municipality provides a weekly scheduled refuse collection service to residents and businesses. Click here to see schedule the collection schedule.
We provide a waste disposal service which include the general waste disposal at the Queen Street transfer station and transported to the landfill site.
The service also provides the drop-off facility for garden waste and clean builders’ rubble disposal.
In Sedgefield:
Berghaan Road, Sedgefield – drop off site only for building rubble and garden refuse;
In Knysna:
Drop off for garden refuse only – Old Place Garden Refuse site, Bokmakierie street, Knysna.
There is no municipal drop off site for building rubble. There is a privately owned site – residents must make their own arrangements with owners.
We ensure general cleanliness in the streets and public spaces of Knysna including its beaches.
