This is according to concerned Sandton residents, Chantal Braid and Greg Heale who want to receive proper services for their money.
Their concerns follow the announcement from Ward 109 deputy branch chairperson, Werner Smit, who said the re-opened landfill site recycling centre on 3rd Road in Linbro Park was where Sandton residents could dump legally.
“The Linbro Park dump site served the community for decades – it should have never been closed,” said Heale.
“It’s taken years for someone to wake up and realise why rubble was being dumped everywhere. There has to be a facility for dumping rubble.”
Braid and Heale did not understand why residents were limited to a wheelbarrow of rubble per day, per household at the recycling centre. “Why bother?” asked Braid. “People generally keep their rubble until a bakkie load is collected. The luxury of driving a bakkie with a wheelbarrow full of rubble every day is ludicrous, and a waste of time and money.”
Heale added, “Please stop treating residents as mindless fools. There has to be a facility for dumping rubble.”
Gerhard Loggenberg, landfill specialist at Pikitup, clarified that residents were limited to dumping two wheelbarrows of rubble per day, per household at the Linbro site, and for bigger loads, residents would have to pay at a larger facility.
Smit added that for truckloads of rubble, residents could go to the dump site in Chloorkop on Allandale Road which is closest for Sandton residents.
