Rules how to use your wheelie bin

The City of Ekurhuleni reminds residents to always take care of their 240l wheelie bins.

Here are a few rules regarding wheelie bins:

• Put out your wheelie bin at 7am on your collection day.

• Remove your bin from the pavement as soon as possible after it has been emptied.

• Make sure your bin is closed to avoid littering and rodent access.

• All supplied wheelie bins remain the property of the municipality and should not be painted a different colour or marked in such a way that the City of Ekurhuleni emblem is not visible.

• If you are moving house, the wheelie bin remains at the address it was originally allocated to.

• No additional refuse bags to be placed next to the bin.

The following should not be disposed of inside the wheelie bin:

• Rocks and soil, commercial, industrial or building waste

• Car batteries, gas cylinders, motor oil and solvents

• Firearms and explosives

• Dead animals and any hazardous items
