Refuse disposal and treatment

The refuse disposal and treatment market in the Northern Cape province is worth about R27 million, which is a decent size for a specific industry in a single province. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth, so it's a relatively stable space. It's also not very crowded, with only one supplier currently operating in this space, which could be an opportunity for your business to get a foothold. In terms of who's getting the most favour, black-owned businesses are getting the largest slice of the pie, with about 53% of the allocation, so your B-BBEE level could play a role in your success here. If you're considering entering this market, I'd recommend getting your B-BBEE certification in order to give yourself a competitive edge.
