KEEP your recycle bags inside your property until the end of January.
That’s the message from eThekwini Municipality to residents who put out clear bags for recycling. The city says recycling bags will not be collected on regular refuse collection days until the end of the month. This is as a result of the City’s recycling partner MPACT’s recycling plant undergoing repairs due to damage caused during severe storms in October last year.
