Residents in the Far South areas who are scheduled for refuse collection today are informed that unfortunately, the service will not take place. This is because the contractor who is servicing the area is experiencing a vehicle shortage. Residents are advised to please put out their bins again tomorrow.

The affected areas are Simon’s Town, Cape Point Trade, Capri, Sunnydale East, Fairie Knowe, Noordhoek, Longbeach Village, Fish Hoek Beach, Clovelly, Kalkbay, St James, Muizenberg and Lake Michelle.

‘We are currently putting a contingency plan in place to ensure a service is rendered this week. Unfortunately, this will not be possible today. The City unfortunately does not have sufficient capacity to assist the contractor which services the area,’ said Alderman Grant Twigg, Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Waste Management.

Residents and businesses are asked to remove their bins from pavements and place them out again tomorrow for service.

The City apologises for any inconvenience caused.
