Shortage of DSW drivers leads to delays in refuse collection.

RESIDENTS of Ward 64 and surrounding areas are urged to keep their refuse in their properties due to delays in collection by DSW.

Gavin Hegter, the Ward 64 councillor, said the delay was due to the ongoing issue of the shortage of DSW drivers not being resolved.
