In a statement released by the City of Ekurhuleni, the municipality explained there are a variety of reasons for servicing 240l wheelie bins that are only branded with the City’s logo such as:
• The said bins must comply with the approved specification and must be SABS approved.
• To promote uniformity and improved service standards.
• To promote swifter identification of services per service point for more accurate billing.
• The Ekurhuleni approved/supplied 240l wheelie bins also comply with the bin lifting mechanism fitted on the waste removal trucks.
