I agree with Mr. Grobler’s views that the wheelie bin system is a complete rip-off.
I, together with a good many of my neighbours, keep our pavements clean and the grass cut.
In addition, when the season changes I am faced with anything of up to 5O bags of leaves.
All this to make sure that the drains remain clear.
I personally have up to five or six bags of garden refuse per week.
Am I now expected to apply for additional wheelie bins at enormous weekly cost to keep the environment clean?
If I understand the billing system correctly, if I don’t register and get a wheelie bin I will not be charged?
It will be cheaper for me to have a pick-up of garden refuse say every two months at a cost of around R250 per load and take my household rubbish to the public dump.
Come on Ekurhuleni, do your homework and give the citizens a break.
An extra R500 + is exorbitant in any man’s language.
