The garden sites were primarily established in the early 70’s by the old Johannesburg Town Council. In essence, the old cleansing department never included garden refuse in the domestic refuse that was collected once a week from the household. These facilities were thus created as a service to residents to facilitate a dumping area for the disposal of light garden waste. People often refer to these sites as a dumping ground, but the reason why they are defined as refuse transfer sites is clearly evident in the fact that refuse is disposed of into containers and transferred to a disposal site or a composting site.

In later years however, various other councils were forced by urban development to also establish these sites. The collection of domestic refuse is based on set routes and established volumes being removed from these areas every day. Councils who originally permitted garden refuse to be put out (Kempton Park) with the normal domestic refuse were faced with the predicament in peak summer periods, of having to remove additional bags of refuse. In some cases it has been recorded that residents had put out 92 bags of garden refuse. The additional volumes of refuse put out had a significant effect on the allocated rounds not being completed in a day and thus the need to establish garden refuse transfer sites was borne.
