GroundUp: Informal settlements need better rubbish collection By GroundUp GroundUp_News
the City of Cape Town’s Solid Waste Department highlighted some deeper issues with the appropriateness of refuse removal in Khayelitsha.
Some residents reported that they did not leave their rubbish bags outside their houses for collection because this attracted rodents and dogs which tore the bags up. Residents also voiced their frustration that cleaners are not hired locally. In response, Mihi said contractors randomly selected cleaners from names on the City’s Job Seeker database and made sure the cleaners worked in the same area in which they lived.
