The City of Cape Town says any remaining Waste Service backlogs in the affected areas will be dealt with on Saturday.

The Urban Waste Management in Cape Town says it is working to minimise disruption of services due to the taxi strike that has affected staff’s ability to get to work.

“This is affecting cleansing, refuse collection schedules, and operations at landfills and transfer stations. Road closures due to protests will also affect the movement of solid waste vehicles.”City of Cape Town

“Should services need to be withdrawn temporarily for safety reasons, the City will resume work in affected areas as soon as possible,” the City notified.

The City has also urged residents not to dump illegally if their services are affected.

“Please keep waste in wheelie bins as far as possible until the backlog can be cleared. We urge residents to assist us by cleaning their areas where possible as well as reporting those who dump their waste illegally at 0800 110077. For every fine and conviction, we will offer you a reward from R1000 up to R5000,” the City of Cape Town appealed.
