As a holiday destination, Overstrand has no equal when it comes to enjoying nature at its best with loads of outdoor activities to suit anyone's fancy.
As visitors have come to expect, we have yet again gone to a lot of trouble to ensure holidaymakers can look forward to a safe and clean environment when they visit our beaches and public amenities.
Overstrand Municipality’s operational teams have been intensifying efforts to clean up stormwater channels and to cut overgrown grass on road verges.
Illegal dumping remains one of the biggest challenges despite the collection of refuse at least once a week from households. Remember, refuse removal schedule days remain the same regardless of public holidays. If you are letting your property over the holiday season, please be sure to bring all arrangements regarding the treatment of household waste to your tenants’ attention.
We appeal to all households to take excessive refuse directly to the transfer stations to dispose of in the correct place and manner.
Illegal dumping in and behind bushes can cause a fire risk and residents are urged to think about and take responsibility for their actions.
Everyone has a part to play in cleaning their surrounding environment and keeping our municipal outdoor areas beautiful.

Baboon-proofing and waste management
All households in baboon affected areas must have an animal proof bin for domestic waste - no wheelie bins may be left on pavements overnight in baboon affected areas.
Remember: Baboons + Unsecured Refuse = Problem.
