Waste bylaw check

EDITOR – With reference to the article, eThekwini Municipality enforces waste disposal bylaws’ in last week’s issue.

A residence in our street makes use of a private company to dispose of their garden refuse. The green drum supplied by the company stands on the pavement permanently, either empty or full of garden refuse.

The drum is positioned approximately four metres away from the entrance to the property and closer to the public pavement than the boundary wall. I would be interested to know whether this is permissible in terms of the municipal bylaws.
