City opens landfill sites to the public
Residents are allowed to bring a bakkie load of waste until normal collection resumes. Businesses may also drop off their waste.
LANDFILL sites in various areas across Durban have been opened to the public for discarding of household waste.
The sites have been closed since February 27 due to Cleansing and Waste Services staff downing tools to embark on an illegal strike.
