Amanzimtoti residents still need to dispose of recyclables with normal domestic waste. That is until a new contractor is appointed to supply new bags.
Residents have been left frustrated and in the dark for years on whether the bags will be delivered and collected by the contractor appointed by eThekwini Municipality. With collection erratic, often the bags are left on the side of the road indefinitely until monkeys tear them apart, and paper and plastic gets scattered around the neighbourhood. Local residents have shown they are keen to recycle but the project is difficult to support when you don’t know if the bags will be collected.
Ward 97 councillor, Andre Beetge said the city currently has no contract in place with a service provider for the exclusive collection of recycle bags and Durban Solid Waste management recommends that residents dispose recyclables along with normal domestic waste.
