Today sees the first day of the implementation of the new refuse removal system and calendar in Kempton Park.

Residents had the opportunity to meet with the MMC for waste removal at Kempton Park Civic Centre on Saturday. According to Ald André du Plessis, disappointingly only three people from the entire Kempton park arrived.

“This means an introduction of a process to cluster the number of households in close proximity to be serviced per day, which enables concentrated equal service areas per working team. The new system will allow officials to work smarter and equipped with adequate resources. Teams will be divided appropriately to the service areas,” said Gadebe.
The schedule for Monday and Tuesday are:
Kempton Express is aware of the fact that certain suburbs are repeated on the schedule. We are waiting for an update on this from the metro.
