Touting for gifts is not allowed
The municipality is requesting residents don't give DSW staff any gifts or money this festive season.
ETHEKWINI Municipality’s Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit (DSW) staff will be working throughout the festive season including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Despite it being the season of goodwill, the city has announced that DSW staff are strictly prohibited from touting for gifts, including money, from residents.
Residents are advised to be wary of impostors posing as municipal workers to solicit gifts.
DSW’s operational services will continue as normal during the festive season including the public holidays. The public is urged to put out their refuse as early as possible to assist in this regard.
The DSW offices will be closed on 16, 25 and 26 December and 1 January 2016, however operational staff will be on duty throughout the festive season.
For enquiries contact the DSW help line on 031 311 8804.
Due to the unavailability of contractors on 25 December and 1 January 2016, the collection of orange and clear bags will not take place on the above mentioned dates.
