Waste Petition

Comments

#1

Our streets are disgusting with refuse laying everywhere and stinking and attracting vermin.
We pay our rates and taxes but get nothing for our money. We want a clean neighbourhood.

(Germiston, 2018-08-23)

I pay my rates you don't deliver services

(Germiston , 2018-08-24)

#8

Lack off good service delivery

(Primrose, Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#10

We pay for services that are not delivered upon by the municipality, we need value for money as we pay taxes and then get double taxed for services that should be provided.

(Primrose , 2018-08-24)

Dustbins are not being collected on designated days in Highway Gardens

(Germiston , 2018-08-24)

#23

Our rubbish is not collected on a Tuesday as per the schedule. It is sometimes collected on a Wednesday or a Thursday and sometimes not at all. We cannot keep bringing our bins in and taking them out 3 times a week. It also increases the chance that they will be stolen and them other people who do not have bind, come and dink their rubbish in our bins. Often there are only 3 out of 10 vehicles which are able to collect rubbish due to the fact that the others have broken down. Of the waste removal company cannot maintain their fleet, then they should be replaced by a more reliable company who has the resources to keep their vehicles in propper running condition.

We have major issues with collection of garbage in the Gerdview area.

(Germiston , 2018-08-24)

#29

We pay for services that are fast disappearing. How can a municipality have less than half their refuse trucks on the road. Ridiculous

(Highway Gardens, 2018-08-24)

#36

Of the poor service

(Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#38

Currently the waste collection is a joke! Only a fraction of the garbage trucks are running, the garbage is seldom collected on the allocated day, thus we always have to be on the lookout for potential theft of the wheelie bins, taking them in and out up to 3 to 4 days in a row.

(Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#40

I’m fed up with the lack of refuse removal

(Germiston , 2018-08-24)

#43

Refuse removal is such a problem and some week you have to put your bin out for 3 days to have it emptied.

(Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#46

Bad service delivery or lack thereof for collection of waste. Rates and taxes paid should be utilized for the purpose of servicing trucks and collection. Constant excuses and late collection

(Homestead, 2018-08-24)

#47

the service is pathetic

(GERMISTON, 2018-08-24)

Erratic waste management schedule

(Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#56

Waste collection Primrose

(Primrose, 2018-08-24)

#59

It is essential that we maintain our standards and improve in order to grow and prosper.

(Homestead, Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#63

I'm signing because my waste is not been collected on the specific day and having to roll out dustbin everyday thereafter hoping It will be for that day

(Germiston , 2018-08-24)

#64

Our area in Highway Gardens stinks from pollution

(Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#65

I'm signing because something has to be done about this bad delivery service once and forall

(Germiston, 2018-08-24)

#71

My ekhurhuleni account is up to date. My bin has been stolen twice due to waste pick up not being on the designated day. This is becoming a game of guess the day. Stop wasting our hard earned money. If a staff member breaks a truck hold them accountable.

(Germiston, 2018-08-25)

#72

We pay for the services but no proper service delivery. That is not acceptable.

(Primrose Hill, 2018-08-25)

#73

To improve service delivery

(Germiston, 2018-08-25)

#75

Collections are very erratic and poses a health risk.

(Klopper Park, 2018-08-25)

#86

I am tired of being charged a ridiculous amount for waste removal!!! We were never consulted about these weelie bins, and since we are forced to pay for them, but they are NEVER collected on the assigned day!!! When we had bags only, they were always collected on time. The lack of service delivery is the worst it has ever been in this country and the responsible people must be held accountable

(Primrose East, 2018-08-27)

#88

Our refuse has consistently not been collected on the allocated day. This results in the hind being left in the street for days.

(Buurendal, 2018-08-28)

#91

Poor municipal services.
Sewerage smells in the air
Constant water outages
Electrical failure
No refuse removal

(Edenvale, 2018-08-28)

#92

Refuse collection is a standard, regularly paid for account, yet our refuse is SELDOM, EVER collected on schedule - sometimes for 3 weeks with no collection!

(Highway Gardens, Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#93

We require the regular waste removal service we pay for.

(Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#95

We worry about our bin getting stolen so we have to keep taking it in and out and the bin has limited space and will not fit more than a weeks waste

(Germisron, 2018-08-28)

#96

Poor service

(Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#97

There is slways a delay with collecting refuse in the area. We have never experienced such poor service delivery

(Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#100

Not adhering to refuse collection by the municipality is causing or increasing unnecessary risks to citizen/tax payers:
- security: bins stollen, residents robbed when bringing bins outside or inside property
- health: particularly in hotter weeks, food leftovers will attract rodents and insects

Reoccurrence of non collection month after month indicates insufficient budgeting, bad planning, lack or incorrect management measures in place from the municipality, questioning the competency of the management team.
This needs to be taken seriously.

(Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#103

We pay our rates and taxes and get no service delivery, every week it's the same problem, we DEMAND SERVICE!

(Germiston , 2018-08-28)

#107

We are fed up with not knowing when we will receive the service that we pay for. Inconsistent service delivery

(Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#108

Our rubish is not being collected on time. Sometimes weeks pass without collection. But the municipality is quick to cut electricity if we do not pay. We pay for a service and we want service. Just do your jobs.

(Johannesburg, 2018-08-28)

#111

I'm signing this because if poor service

(Germiston, 2018-08-28)

#114

Paying exorbitant rates and taxes and being a disabled pensioner and not having a constant service delivery is not acceptable

(Germiston, 2018-08-29)

#115

the refuse is not been collected on time.

(Germiston, 2018-08-29)

#117

we are paying for services, trucks breaking down and not being fixed should not be an excuse. was it really necessary for the Germiston Theater to be build - could that monies not have gone for repairing critical services?

(Primrose, 2018-08-29)

#123

Tired of lack of Service Delivery, feel like burning tyres and throwing stones as our fellow Black residents do when they unhappy about Service Delivery. Please, we pay for this service Mister Mayor!!!

(Marlands, 2018-08-29)

#130

I demand that this issue be resolved as I pay my rates and taxes so as to ensure efficient service delivery. This is currently not the case as stated in the reason for petition.

(Germiston, 2018-08-29)

#132

(johannesburg, 2018-08-29)

#133

This week we still waiting for our drums to be collectef, one week on a Tuesday the next week on a Wednesday. They also dont want to take more than one drum.

(Germiston, 2018-08-29)

#134

Please provide the service we pay for.

(Germiston, 2018-08-29)

#135

Waste service do jot pick up when they should. Its not fare. Some people are working and have to leave the dustbins outside. We can NOT ask someone to keep an eye on it the whole day. (Due to the Waste Removers, who is not on time) Some lady's dustbin is already stolen, because the dustbin people DO NOT MAKE SURE to put it back where it belong. Now the lady don't have control over it, as she is not the owner of the house. I understand it looks neat with the dustbins, but to prevent our dustbins to get stolen it sometimes feel better just to leave it in a dustbin bag.

(Germiston, 2018-08-29)

#137

I am signing because we pay our rates and taxes and yet we have to put up with this shocking lack of service.

(Germistin, 2018-08-30)

#138

The lack of service delivery in our area is pathetic. Our councillors don't get proper feedback from the relevant departments. That is if they get feedback at all.

(Germiston, 2018-08-30)

#143

Our refuse is always collected a day or two later for over a month now. I always pay my refuse bill and I not getting the service I am paying for. Unacceptable.

(Gerdview, Germiston, 2018-08-30)

#148

This is a service that I pay for and I expect it to be done. If I don't pay my bill, my water and power get cut, but nothing is done about this.

(Marlands, 2018-08-30)

#150

Service delivery sucks

(Germiston, 2018-08-31)

#151

The late collection of waste is a health risk, as flies and other pests breed in the wheelie bins when the collection is late and it also smells bad.

(Germiston, 2018-08-31)

#152

Refuse doesn't always get collected on days assigned, sometimes only gets collected after 19:00. Always excuse of breakdown of trucks, once wasn't collected for two weeks. Pay for service that we don't receive.

(Homestead Germiston, 2018-08-31)

(Germiston, 2018-09-04)

#168

Waste pick up is very slow or not done at all. Gerdview area is Tuesdays. We pay a lot of money for this non existant service. Where does our money go? Why do they not service the trucks? If they budget for it where does that money go? We want answers to these questions! It is our money as well.

(Gerdview, Primrose, Germiston , 2018-09-04)

#170

Collection is becoming non existant due to the rediculous excuse that out of 10 trucks only 3 operational. This us a load of nonsense... 3 months of this fabrication...what happens when tbese trucks also need repairs that waste ma agement cannot afford to pay?.

(Germiston, 2018-09-04)

(Germiston, 2018-09-04)

(Germiston, 2018-09-04)

#182

(Germiston, 2018-09-04)

#183

(Primrose, 2018-09-04)

(Germiston, 2018-09-05)

#194

Every little bit helps in keeping our planet cleaner even if we can’t save it.

(Johannesburg , 2018-09-05)

#195

It is unacceptable that the rate payers are not informed by the about the service problems. It is as if the Council are hiding something or is it just incompetence and the continual decline of overall public services?

(Highway Gardens, 2018-09-05)

#197

We are paying for a very sloppy and unreliable service and it just gets worse the Bin method clearly was not thought through from the issuing of the bins to the weekly collection

(Sunnyridge Germiston, 2018-09-06)

#199

Our suburbs are being neglected and behind schedule most of the time. This has been carrying on for weeks. Sick and tired.
