According to News24, the municipality is struggling with waste removal in some informal settlements after terminating a contract with a supplier of rubbish removal bags.
Consistency in waste management in both formal and informal areas has been badly impacted. Despite efforts by the City to dispatch teams to affected areas, residents have been complaining of their refuse being collected late or not at all. In Dunoon, this has led to mounds of uncollected domestic waste, attracting more flies and rodents than usual.
