I am so upset with the metro’s handling of the weekly pick-up of refuse and black bags.
We have a wheelie bin but that can only take four to five bags of refuse, so we put the other loose bags outside when it is time for collection.

The truck arrives and only takes the wheelie bin and tips it into the truck. What is the problem with the guys? Can’t they just put the other loose bags into the bin and tip that into the truck as well?
No, it is not their job. They only pick up the wheelie bins and we have to take the bags to Norkem Park Transfer Station. Sometimes the person looks on the back of your bakkie to see what it is and charges you an extra R20 for dumping.
Why are we paying the metro for picking up our refuse when they are doing half a job? What would the metro do if all the people take their bags not collected and dump it in front of the civic centre just to show them we are sick and tired of them doing half a job?
Come on, metro, really. It is so simple; your truck staff gets a salary to do a job so they must do a decent job, not half a job like the past three weeks.
