Refuse disposal and treatment

The refuse disposal and treatment market in Gauteng is worth about R19.3 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing business. With 31 suppliers already in the market, it's fairly crowded, and you'll need to differentiate your organisation to stand out. The Department of Environmental Affairs and other departments are looking to favour businesses with strong black economic empowerment credentials, with over 52% of the spend allocated to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a robust black economic empowerment programme to increase your chances of winning contracts in this market.
