City of Ekurhuleni Waste Crisis

Comments

#2601

Ongoing delayed collection of refuse

(Johannesburg, 2021-05-01)

The waste in the area is never collected on time and days later. This past summer we had the worst flies due to the dump not being emptied and managed correctly. The dump in the area never looks well managed and doesn't feel safe. It is also full more often that not preventing anyone from dumping there.

Waste collection in our area is terrible. On average the truck comes about 2 days after it’s scheduled collection day.

The waste issue is overpowering. It needs to be sorted out. People are dumping across the road especially taxis that sit and eat in the vehicle. The Northmead and Benoni CBD is now a dumping site especially by lakeside mall. This is unacceptable

Im sick and tired of paying for refuse removal when my refuse does not get collected and i have to move it by myself. Whats the point of paying for a service when you dont get any service.

It is reduliculios that we pay R200.00 for rmoving a dustbin and it is suppose to be every week on time. The bins is so full when they do come that they break our dustbins. And it is n big story to get a new one.

I'm signing because I pay rates and taxes. Where's our money going?!

(Germiston, 2021-05-02)

#2622

We pay for a service that is not being delivered. Lack of waste removal also results in health hazards that is a risk to the entire community.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2624

I am "gatvol" for the City of Ekurhuleni's absolute lack of service delivery in not only Boksburg but the whole east rand. Our town and neighboring towns resemble public dumps. It is a disgrace.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2625

We cannot pay for service which is nonexistent. Totally unacceptable.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2626

The vermin infestation (rats, mice, flies, maggots, etc.), general security hazard because refuse bins are left outside 24/7 (because no one knows when refuse collection may / may not occur) is both a public health catastrophe and a security risk..... not what I pay municipal rates and taxes for!!!!!!

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2628

I pay R1000 per month in rates to a metro, which forces me to buy extra rubbish bags each month,to clean the street outside my home where others dump trash. It costs more money for fly spray to rid my house of flies breeding out of the black bins that Metro cannot service. I pay even more money on rat poison, because the rats are infesting us from a school opposite, where the skips are not regularly emptied. The rats infestation has cost us thousands to replace, due to DSTV, BURGLAR ALRAMS, SECURITY LIGHT cables in my roof being chewed through by rats. The people who run our metro, surely lack the skills or interest to do so.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2629

Ekurhuleni is USELESS.
don't maintain roads, pavements, street lights and waste removal

(Germiston, 2021-05-02)

#2631

It is unacceptable to pay for a service that is rendered so poorly or not at all.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2632

I agree that mismanagement and theft and non service deliveries should stop.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2634

Very bad service delivery. Waist.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2639

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2646

The irregular removal/ emptying of our bins is unsanitary and a danger in health.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2647

I am paying rates and taxes specifically for the service of collecting my refuse and the non collection is a health risk to my family as we have waste that is weeks old on our property. Leaving the bin out every day because we have no idea when collections will be is also a safety risk

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2649

All Public services are non existing, and it is a health issue if waste is not collected and dumped correctly. We pay rates and rates for a service not to enrich people

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2650

unexceptable unhygienic conditions with uncollected refuge removal

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

It is a total disaster

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2654

I wish to express my discontent with the type of service we as citizens and residents of an affluent community that deserves better get from local government

(boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2657

Tired of having refuse issues, we pay for a service that is not delivered but yet be late with municipal payments and they take your money and cut you off.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2659

The waste removal is disgusting and irregular. We dont know when they are coming. Our bins are overflowing and it is a definite health hazard. We buy for rates and taxes and if we dont our electricity or water gets cut off. But they do no collect our rubbish and we must be satisfied. It is disgraceful

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2660

Because of poor service delivery in my suburb

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2663

Miss management of funds and no service delivery

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2664

This situation is hazardous to our health and Covid19 is already draining our medical resources so something must be done about it.

(Germiston, 2021-05-02)

#2666

Sick and tired of not receiving services I've paid for

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2668

This is a service that we pay for among all the other services that we pay for and do not receive.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2670

This is unacceptable. We pay our rates and taxes and expect service delivery.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2672

The whole of Germiston is a disgrace and filthy

(Elspark, Germiston, 2021-05-02)

#2673

I am signing this petition because it is time the Mayor and his councillors take responsibility for their actions. If they do not manage their responsibilities and budget diligently, they have to be relieved of their position, and stipend, immediately. If money was stolen or mismanaged, then they need to be criminally charged and punished.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2676

#2680

I pay my rates and taxes for a service that should be delivered timeously.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2683

Failure to empty my rubbish bin.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2686

Terrible service! And we pay for it!

(Germiston, 2021-05-02)

#2689

This service is non existent. We are paying for a monthly service yet we have been taking our refuse to the dump sites for years

(Benoni, 2021-05-02)

#2690

Fed up of paying for services not delivered

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2692

Lack and inconvenience of services paid for.

(Johannesburg, 2021-05-02)

#2712

I am sick of the waste collection never happening on the scheduled day. I am sick of the waste that lies uncollected for days on end

(Benoni, 2021-05-02)

#2715

Im tired of seeing our suburb and once clean town go downhill. Looks like Mogadishu!!!

(Benoni, 2021-05-02)

#2717

The lack of service and accountability is criminal. It MUST IMPROVE or/and the authorities in charge should be held responsible.

(Boks, 2021-05-02)

#2719

Refuse collection has become so erratic and cannot be allowed to continue. Obviously management have no control.

(Benoni, 2021-05-02)

#2722

The refuse Removal is never collected on the scheduled day(Thursdays) and causes a lot of frustration and time wasting to take out trolley every morning, and keep a close watch on the trolley, as people steal the trolley, bring in the trolleys(uncollected) after 18:00 every day in the hope it will be collected! This exercise usually continue for four days and collected on sundays. To top it all my trolleys are taken to a common assembly point, mixed with other trolleys, and then I am expected to collect my trolleys 30meters away and bring them back! This is unacceptable service and not what I pay for. If this 'job' of collecting refuse is too complicated to manage, I suggest we withhold payment and appoint a contractor that is willing to deliver a proper service and paid accordingly. Trolleys must stay in front of each premises as they have individual serial numbers with registered owners.!

(Germiston, 2021-05-02)

#2726

The situation is unacceptable and just seems to be escalating with no sign of resolution

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2728

I consider it my duty to pay my rates and I expect that the council will do their duty and deliver the basic services required of them.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2729

Waste removal is an essential service which we pay for and are not receiving on a regular basis, this leads to rodent infestation and disease.

(Johannesburg, 2021-05-02)

#2732

We used to be proud to stay in Boksburg. The mismanagement of our town has become a disgrace. No planning, no motivation, no accountability, no preventative maintenance but a pay cheque no matter what. They actually do not care. The mayor and all hod’s have no clue. Residents pay rates but are getting no value. I wonder if all the waste removal vehicles broke on the same day?

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2733

Pay again for a service that don't give me any joy. Never on time and no one now what is happening were

(Benoni, 2021-05-02)

#2736

The service level is pathetic. We as paying citizens should receive service for what we are paying. This is unacceptable.

(South Africa, 2021-05-02)

#2740

We all pay rates and taxes in order to have these services - if the services are not available through total ineptitude why should we pay

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2744

My refuse has not been collected for two week. I can not accept the excuse that the CoE has had mechanical breakdowns on all their refuse truck as this would not have happened as a single event but as a progressive occurrence that was not managed correctly

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2749

Our town is filthy, garbage scattered all over, maggots and rats are everywhere. This is a terrible health hazard. Municipal services are erratic and almost non-existent. Our roads are full of potholes, street light not working and long power outages occurring far too often. Our rates are being increased and we receive nothing for our payments. It is disgraceful and unacceptable.

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)

#2768

Because service delivery is non priority and needs to change

(Boksburg, 2021-05-02)
