The City of Tshwane regrets the ongoing disruption of the refuse collection schedule. Refuse removal has been severely affected by the ongoing strike in all regions since 27 July 2023, spilling over into the following weeks.
The City would like to assure residents that we are working around the clock to implement a catch-up plan to minimise the impact of the ongoing illegal strike on refuse removal services.
In the interim, refuse collection will be conducted as per the waste collection schedule from 7 August 2023. Should your waste not be collected in the morning, residents must keep their waste containers outside as the catch-up plan is extended into the evening.
We are doing our utmost best to ensure that waste is collected and properly disposed of to avoid illegal dumping from occurring within our communities. We therefore urge customers to refrain from illegally dumping waste during this period. This is detrimental to the environment and well-being of communities.
While it is difficult to confirm when normal services will be restored at this stage, the City commits to providing regular updates on developments regarding the full restoration of services.
The City of Tshwane understands that this is a frustrating period for residents. We thank you for your patience while we find a solution to this impasse.
