Refuse disposal and treatment

In KwaZulu Natal, the refuse disposal and treatment market is worth about R5.3 million, which is a decent size for a specific service like this. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with no year-over-year growth. You're looking at a relatively small pool of suppliers, with only 16 companies currently providing these services to just 2 departments in the province. To break into this market, it's worth noting that over half of the spend goes to black-owned businesses, so ensuring your organisation meets the relevant B-BBEE requirements could be a key factor in securing contracts. Given the steady market size and the emphasis on B-BBEE, you should start by analysing your own B-BBEE level and seeing how you can improve it to be more competitive in this space.
