Windsor clean-up crew celebrates three years

On 14 September, the Windsor community came together for their monthly community clean-up.

Windsor residents celebrated three years of coming together on Saturdays to keep their area clean. Ward 98 councillor Beverly Weweje was present leading the team which assembled at Seven Seas Fisheries and proceeded to clean up the Windsor streets.

Weweje stood beside piles of bags filled with refuse.

“That’s why I admire our residents so much. No matter what they come back every time and I think Windsor could be worse without them,” she said.

During the clean-up, a resident had illegally dumped their tree offcuts and proceeded to burn them. Weweje was quick to notify Pikitup of the incident and reminded residents that with this type of refuse, community members must call City Parks and Pikitup as sometimes both utilities expected the other to collect it.

Weweje made special mention of Siyanda Myeza and Judy Draper who were among the community members who have attended the clean-up every month for the past three years.
