ETHEKWINI Municipality has advised residents can expect a delivery of orange recycling bags from December, as a number of issues affecting the supply chain which disrupted distribution this year have been sorted out.
Earlier this year a forensic probe uncovered serious irregularities in the awarding of the tender to a company to supply the bags.
