DEAR Editor,-
This is the sight which greets people when they arrive at the Tweni garden transfer station (GTS). It all looked closed up and the only reason I knew it was open was because I parked my car and walked to the partially opened gate and found a guard fast asleep in the hut. It didn’t look as if anything had happened there in a 100 years, but the guard told me the skips are emptied on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Upon arrival at the first well-maintained boom gate (?), you might easily presume that the GTS is closed for business … And probably why approximately 200 meters down the dirt track and to the left of the entrance are two very large piles of bricks and rubble, tiles and plasterboard simply dumped on both sides of the track.
There is no signage of any kind to indicate that there is a GTS there, or the hours of business.
If Ray Nkonyeni Municipality want residents to stop dumping all over road verges and residential areas and do more recycling, the area should be cleaned up and made more presentable.
Additional skips should be placed there for building rubble, tiles, glass, and so on and some directional signs should be visible to indicate that there is actually an area where residents can recycle – not only garden refuse, but other items.
