I investigated the Muizenberg “Coastal park” Landfill site. This area is a capped landfill that they are trying to rehabilitate and resuse. It is constructed using disposed builders' rubble and topped with a layer of sand, clay and gravel.
The tyres are close to the active face where they are used to mark routes or "necklace" gas or borehole monitoring infrastructure. To ensure that the monitoring system is not compromised.
