It's a health risk.

#206

Disappointed in waste removal that we pay a lot for

(Germiston, 2018-09-07)

#207

Service is not on time . Rubbish collected sometimes 2 days later. Not on due date

(Woodmere, 2018-09-07)

#209

It is not acceptable to pay for services that are not delivered. This is an ongoing problem that commenced with the implementation of wheelie bins and to date has not been rectified. Waste disposal management need to advise why the trucks are not being serviced / maintained and / or replaced.

(Germiston, 2018-09-10)

#212

We are not getting the service we pay for.
Since switching to the wheelie bins the service is very bad. Before the wheelie bins the service was much better.My suggestion is that we go back to the old service until such time that the wheelie bin service can run efficiently.

As a paying citizen I'm tired of waste that's not removed as per Ekurhuleni's schedule.

(Germiston, 2018-09-11)

#216

I would like the service delivery to improve.

(Germiston, 2018-09-11)

#218

It is a disgrace that we pay for services and our monies are spent on everything else but service delivery. It is time that rate payers and tax payers see that our hard earned monies are used for the correct purpose. The waste collection is a serious health hazard and having 2 out of 10 trucks operational is unacceptable. My suggestion is to cancel the service providers contract, stop charging the rate payers for waste collection and let the private sector and wards come up with its own solution. I have no doubt a few entrepeneurs will come to the fore, use the opportunity, create jobs and get the job done.

There is presently a shortage of garbage collection trucks (12.08.2018) and garbage scheduled for Monday has not been collected by Wednesday.

I suspect it is due to a vehicle maintenance problem so could the authorities please see to the repair of the vehicles.

Finances should have been set aside in your 5-year budget forecast for more vehicles.

I am signing this Petition because:

We are paying for a service that is not being delivered timeously, or sometimes not at all delivered.

With us residents having to leave our bins out each day, after day we run the risk of them getting stolen.

It is also unsafe for residents to have to go outside in the dark every night to take their bins back inside and then out again every morning in hope that they will be emptied.

Our bins get dug through and inspected by dozens of unknown rubbish collectors and many times they do not put all the rubbish back into the bins, with this happening every time our bins are out, it causes us to have to clean the crap up around the ground, which also poses as a health risk.

These bins also act as a ladder for criminals to jump over our walls and access our properties.

If council cannot provide the service we are paying for effectively then we as residents should receive credits on our accounts for non-collection.

We as residents want the SERVICE DELIVERY that we are paying such a high price for.

We are sick and tired of Ekurhuleni Municipality's Excuses!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need a schedule...that the way are operating at the moment.

(albemarle, 2018-09-14)

#262

Lack of refuse removal in Germiston & we still have to pay council for a service that is not provided. It is a huge health risk leaving garbage out in the sun & rain for days on end. The wheelie bins are also being stolen.

(Germiston, 2018-09-14)

The current situation will result in a health risk and the law requires the fulfilment of this service that we are paying for.

1. It is a health risk
2. It promotes crime
3. I pay for service that I don't receive
4. Our city is not a rubbish dump

(Germiston, 2018-09-15)

#280

Our dustbins are not being picked up on a regular basis. And we have to go out at night to bring in our bins when it is not picked up. Over the weekends we have to take it out again with the hope it will be picked up then, with no success.

It is not acceptable as we pay our fees and we don't receive this services.

(Germiston, 2018-09-15)

Should go back to the plastic bag system as new wheelie bins are constantly stolen and collection is erratic. Can't sit and watch ones bin all day.

(Germiston, 2018-09-15)

(Germiston , 2018-09-15)

#339

I pay for a service that I don't get.
The bins are in the street for 3-4 days and then some villains have joy in throwing it out.

(Germiston , 2018-09-15)

#348

Refuse is collected late on a weekly basis. Promises to improve it never materialize. It is unsightly to see full, overflowing bins standing uncollected in the whole area.

(Elandshaven, 2018-09-15)

#349

Something needs to be about the lack of refuse removal in Delville

(Germiston , 2018-09-15)

Rubbish removal not taking place. We pay for this service!

(Germiston, 2018-09-15)

#354

I'm signing because we are paying for a service we are not receiving

(Germiston, 2018-09-16)

#355

Our refuse is never collected on time. Our dustbins remain outside our yards for days, clearly susceptible to theft.

(Germiston , 2018-09-16)

#357

I am tired of poor service delivery when we pay for services. There are also no replacement bins from Germiston Depot when ours get stolen.

(Germiston, 2018-09-16)

(Dinwiddie , 2018-09-17)

(Germiston, 2018-09-17)

#371

Pay rates and taxes, but have to remove own bags and take to the dumbs. Don't ever see the truck and your bin gets stolen from outside. People are at work, who must take the bin in.'' Don't even know what day collection is

(Tedstoneville, 2018-09-17)

#374

Every week it's endless issues with the waste collection what has happened to our country people just don't care

(Elsburg Germiston , 2018-09-17)

#381

I'm signing this because the removal of solid waste in Castleview is pathetic. I wonder what will happen if I pay my Ekurhuleni bill two days late or deduct money from the refuge removal amount?? No need to answer this..... because there is only one thing Ekurhuleni can do VERY QUICKLY AND THAT IS CUTTING POWER IF YOU PAY ONE DAY LATE!! With that they don't have any problem.

(Germiston, 2018-09-17)

#383

Poor service delivery

#389

I think it is unhygienic and I pay for a non existent service

(Dinwidde, Germiston, 2018-09-18)

#391

I agree that this is now unacceptable. I was under the impression that the trucks were on lease, which I feel means that those that are broken should be returned to the lessor, and replacements obtained.

(Germiston, 2018-09-18)

#392

Due to dustbin not being g collected, waste is piling up and residents are now dumping in fields in the area. This is unhygienic, looks disgusting and now smells.

(Germiston, 2018-09-20)

Paying for service that is not done it theft . Its a weekly issue

(Germiston , 2018-09-21)

#399

I have lost confidence in EMM with the unpredictable waste collection despite EMM having communicated a fixed schedule to residents.

(Germiston, 2018-09-25)

#400

We pay for a weekly refuse removal but this has not been happening. Our refuse is left outside for days leaving our bins exposed to theft and pest infestation
