The City of Ekurhuleni has made tremendous progress in clearing the refuse removal backlog in Kempton Park.
Waste management services are currently rendering the service according to the normal collection schedule, said Themba Gadebe, spokesperson for the metro, on Friday.
“The refuse removal services rendered include the collection of 240-litre wheelie bins and 1.75m³ mini containers. In cases where there is non-collection of bins on scheduled days, the collection is done the following day.
