Illegal dumping is rampant in and around Estcourt. This dumped rubbish was pictured in Canna Avenue.

Residents of Umtshezi are prohibited from illegally dumping waste, this is according to Acting Municipal Manager Elphas Dladla.

“Residents found guilty illegal dumping will face severe penalties, including paying a fine and possible prosecution,” he added.

Umtshezi Municipality has a schedule of collecting household waste. Also, residents who throw out waste from moving vehicles face the risk of having their vehicles impounded and released upon payment of a fine.

“We have entered spring and residents are urged to work together with Umtshezi Municipality to keep our town clean,” concluded Mr Dladla.
