Rubbish finally collected
The EMM has restored normal services to New Redruth refuse collection.
MULTIPLE residents complained that they had gone for days without anyone removing waste from the dustbins lining the street.
From Friday, 26 February, no waste was collected from houses in New Redruth, but normal services have now resumed, according to Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
Gadebe said, “The refuse removal services in the Alberton area were not rendered according to the refuse collection schedule, due to poor vehicle availability as a result of mechanical breakdowns and unfavourable weather conditions.”
Gadebe stated that the municipality has put contingency measures in place to ensure that there is an improvement on the resources to deal with the current workload and reduce the backlog.
