Greening & Urban Maintenance
Over the past months, our teams have been hard at work maintaining and refreshing the Wynberg area. These projects are aimed at improving the quality of the public environment for all who live, work and visit here.
Our focus has included:
- Urban cleaning and maintenance – tackling illegal dumping, graffiti removal, gutter and drain cleaning, poster removal and high-pressure sanitising.
- Greening initiatives – planting, landscaping and maintaining public spaces to create a more welcoming and environmentally friendly urban landscape.
- Ongoing upgrades – responding to service requests, addressing problem areas, and ensuring that seasonal changes don’t compromise the safety or cleanliness of our streets.
Together, these efforts lay the foundation for a brighter, cleaner and greener spring season.
Updates from the Wynberg Improvement District
In Wynberg, recent projects have included large-scale deweeding and grass cutting, as well as gutter and drain cleaning to prevent blockages from winter rainfall. The team has also addressed illegal dumping and graffiti removal, ensuring public spaces remain safe and welcoming.
A major highlight was the Glaren Road upgrade project, where extensive work was carried out to improve the streetscape and maintain the surrounding area. These efforts, supported by ongoing poster removal and targeted sanitising of public spaces, contribute to a cleaner, greener Wynberg for residents, businesses and visitors.

Building a Cleaner, Greener Cape Town – The City’s New Waste Strategy
The City of Cape Town has launched its new Waste Strategy, a long-term roadmap to deliver sustainable, affordable and future-fit waste services for all residents and businesses. With illegal dumping, landfill reliance and growing urban waste challenges, the strategy sets out clear goals to improve data and technology use, drive behaviour change, strengthen partnerships and close service gaps.
Centred on three pillars – optimising existing services, minimising waste to landfill, and maximising service offerings – the strategy calls on everyone to play their part in building a cleaner, greener Cape Town.
