A concerned community member contacted the GCN regarding people who put out rubbish bags on the wrong day.
A refuse collection schedule has been issued by the metro, but it appears people do not follow it.
Days are now fixed and refuse removal days will not change for the remainder of the year.
To help try to keep Germiston and its suburbs clean, residents are advised to put out dustbin bags only on the correct day.
Not only is it an unpleasant sight when rubbish bags are left out, it is also an attraction to rodents and stray dogs.
