Refuse Disposal
Building Regulations Part-U Refuse Disposal
Part-U of the SANS 10400 Refuse disposal states that ‘Any building, excluding a dwelling house’ that has refuse generated in that building will provide ‘adequate’ storage areas for rubbish containers.
Over and above this the planning and building must provide access from the street so that the containers can be removed.
All waste removals from a dwelling house are covered by the relevant Local Authority and or Regional By-Laws. The Regulation also mentions chutes that are used to dispose waste into a container, that they must be designed to be safe ‘in operation’.

South Africa has Environmental Laws but need to enforce these.
South African environmental law describes the legal rules in South Africa relating to the social, economic, philosophical and jurisprudential issues raised by attempts to protect and conserve the environment in South Africa.
South African environmental law encompasses natural resource conservation and utilization, as well as land-use planning and development. Issues of enforcement are also considered, together with the international dimension, which has shaped much of the direction of environmental law in South Africa.
The role of the country’s Constitution, crucial to any understanding of the application of environmental law, also is examined. The National Environmental Management Act[1] (NEMA) provides the underlying framework for environmental law.
How is dimension of refuse bin storage room calculated.
I suggest you contact your local authority.
Good Day
what does the law require from us regarding fire safety, we have all necessary equipment inside the workshop and offices, is it a must to have a hydrant if there are not one close by, and how do one go about installing one if it is required by law.
Good Day,
We are currently working on a design proposal for Hesketh Lifestyle Estate, Msunduzi Municipality, Pietermaritzburg . Do you have any knowledge regarding the requirements and standards for waste and refuge disposal areas and management? We are specifically looking for the calculations for the disposal area regarding the number of units on site.
If you have any further information regarding the matter, that would be very helpful.
Have a good day further.
kind regards
Robyn Forte
