Facility type
Sea Point Drop-off is a City of Cape Town drop-off facility in Sea Point, roughly 3.9 km from the city centre. It was the City's first drop-off dedicated entirely to recycling — it takes recyclables only, so no builder's rubble or garden waste, and it is closed on Sundays. If you've got rubble from a Sea Point or Atlantic Seaboard job, you'll need a collection or another site.
