This morning (June 12) the Ekurhuleni waste removal employees came to collect refuse at our estate (Oaklane Estate).
I had one wheelie bin and some other rubbish not in the bin.
They emptied the wheelie bin and I myself then filled it again with the other rubbish and had to run a mile after them asking them to empty the bin.
This after they ignored me when I asked them to wait.
They started interrogating me and asked where I lived and from where did I get the bin.
I asked them why are they now interviewing me.
They rudely refused and back-chatted that they are not going to take it.
I was told I should have asked them nicely.
Now I’m stuck with a full bin and am forced to live another week in unhygienic conditions.
The waste will be even more next week.
These guys told me they are Ekurhuleni employees; they won’t lose their jobs and are untouchable. And I can go report them.
They are very incompetent workers and have no work ethics.
