The then Acting Municipal Manager of the Umtshezi Municipality Elphas Dladla, said that more durable bins were in the process of being acquired. To date, the damaged bins have not been replaced.
Just after the protest, some locals said they were concerned that rubbish was soon going to be carelessly dumped in the areas where the bins were placed. Those concerns have since come to pass.
