The Ekurhuleni Solid Waste Department started a cleaning campaign to get rid of the city’s backlog in waste collection on February 27.
MMC for Environmental and Waste Management Brandon Pretorius and Executive Mayor Tania Campbell in Alberton.
The visit was part of Campbell’s back-to-basics approach to service delivery. It was also to assure residents that Ekurhuleni’s fleet has reached its maximum capacity after the city approved a plant hire tender and received 36 vehicles. “What we have is a tender that allows us to rent trucks as and when we need them to provide efficient service delivery,” said Campbell.
“The city’s ultimate goal is to stabilise the rotational collection of waste in all parts of Ekurhuleni. This means that the waste will be dumped to our landfill sites, not to our mini dumpsites to ensure that the city is clean and tidy,” said Pretorius.With the much-needed adjustment budget, the City of Ekurhuleni has promised to ensure delivery of adequate services.
