Expect delays in refuse collection, says City of Cape Town

The City of Cape Town is experiencing delays in the maintenance of Solid Waste vehicles.

As such, this is causing delays in both formal refuse collections as well as area cleansing services.

The municipality advised residents to take their bins in at 21:00, and take them out at 06:00 the following day.

‘’Every effort is being made to ensure that refuse is collected on the scheduled day, however, should this not be possible, residents should take their bins in at 21:00, and bring them out again the following morning at 06:00. If not collected on the scheduled day, it will generally be collected the following day. In exceptional cases where even this is not possible due to various issues, residents should please bring their bins out every day until it is collected (including Saturdays and Sundays),’’ the municipality said in a statement.

Residents are also implored not to resort to illegal dumping, should wheelie bins reach its capacity.

‘’Where possible, practice home composting and recycling.  This will allow further space in the bin during this period.’’
