The City of Ekurhuleni reminds residents that there are council-owned skip hire services for residents to make use of.
A R1 221.15 fee allows residents to hire a 6m² non-compactable rubble container for the duration of the customer’s requirement. Customers can call 011 999 0979 to hire the skip bin.
Masingi Mhinga (45) is a new home owner at Windmill Park Extension in Boksburg. She is renovating her house and has building rubble stacked outside her gate, which she said causes a feud with some of her neighbours.
Masingi said she was not aware of the municipal skip hire services. She had only heard of private services which cost her large amounts of money.
“I heard from one of the municipal waste removal officials that I can hire the skip from the City to contain my rubble at an affordable rate. So I will go to Boksburg waste depot for the skip services,” said Mhinga.
Furthermore, customers do not always have to walk to their nearest depots to hire the skips. It can be done at their convenience telephonically or by providing all required information electronically and the bin will be delivered within 24 to 48 hours from date of application.
Documents required for the application include: water and lights account, and the client’s ID document.
