City of Ekurhuleni Waste Crisis

Comments

#804

I am fed up of service delivery issues that keep arising, yet if I refuse to pay, then I am penalised. Get your act together, people are going to cause an uprising and it could get ugly.

I have had enough of bad service delivery - waste removal, street lights, electricity outages, overgrown pavements!
But we still have to pay!!

I'm a resident of Alberton in Brackenhurst and I have a business in Alberton North and I have been in Alberton for 40 years and it is distressing to see this town in total disrepair. Nothing works any more it is a total disaster.

It is a discrace how this town is going backwards and we, the taxpayers are paying for unacceptable services and not being taken into consideration.

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#823

We as the community are paying our money's which makes us liable to receive the services we are paying for. The problem of labour or none payment of facilities to dump is totally the responsibility of managers not doing their jobs. Rid the council of this dead weight.

I pay taxes for this service and now it became pathetic - schedule always behind with same excuses 😡

Poor delivery from council in all sferes.

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

The waste issue is a big health issue

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

Kempton Park is a rubbish dump with no service delivery of any sort whatsoever. I am so ashamed of living here.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#843

This country is turning into a rubbish dump! If Covid is not going to kill us, the pest coming from being filthy will

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#844

The non collection of waste on a regular basis is creating a major health hazard.

(Primrose, 2021-02-13)

ALBERTON USED TO BE A BEAUTIFUL CITY. BUT NO MORE. LONG GRASS STREET LIGHTS NOT WORKING. IF IT IS NOT WATER PRESSURE THEN THE ELECTRICITY. ALSO POT HOLES NOW I HEAR THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WASTE COLLECTORS. TIAAN WE FEEL SORRY FOR YOU YOU RUN LATE AT NIGHT TO SORT OUT THINGS. AND KEEP US UP TO DATE WITH EVERYTHING.

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#853

We have so many problems with the waste collection every week. Broken trucks etc. Something needs to be done urgently. Management needs to take accountability.

(Verwoerdpark, 2021-02-13)

#854

Litter is unhygienic and causes disease and Iinjuried

(ALBERTON, 2021-02-13)

#856

It is very frustrating to bring the bins in and take them out again not knowing when they will collect and also having people digging in the bins and messing on the pavement and making the dogs bark. Lastly the possible theft of your bins

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#857

We do not get full service for what we pay for . Our dustbins stand outside in the sun waiting for collection , which Ona regular basis is not collected . My dustbins have been stolen which is also a consequence of being left outside waiting for collection. The service is paid for hence should not be a continuous problem of non collection

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#858

The present contractor does not abide by the official schedule for watse removal.

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#863

Our bins are not taken out on regular bases or date's.

(Alberton Nortg, 2021-02-13)

#864

Landfill sites and waste removal

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#868

waste doesnt get collected

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#872

Something has to be done and somebody has to be held accountable for the mess that is happening in waste management.

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#873

Sick of the corruption and lack of service

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#876

Of service delivery and the incompatient management of the councilors who are responsible to the community, so why are there a shortage of people, yet the community are still paying their rates and taxes to the council.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#883

We are a nursery school. And have jug problems with the not collecting the bins on time.
And if that happenes then we has a rat problem!

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#890

The Mayor and his executive Team Must be help accountable for the mis management of the Municipality and all the related problems. Theres no excuse for poor management.

(kempton park, 2021-02-13)

#894

Gatevol!!!

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#896

Very bad service delivery.

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#900

In Birch Acres, we are over run by rats! No one is paying any attention. We have constant issues with refuse collection, which we are forced to pay for, regardless of the shocking service delivery!

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#907

Gatvol of the municipal mismanagement!

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#910

Paying for services

(Boksburg, 2021-02-13)

#915

We are tired of the slow maintenance of the waste infrastructure and the slow response to reported incidents

(Boksburg, 2021-02-13)

#917

Absolutely ridiculous, yet we have no choice but to pay our rates and taxes. Stop mismanaging OUR money!!!!!!!

(Johannesburg, 2021-02-13)

#919

There is a serious lack of leadership in this municipality.

(Boksburg, 2021-02-13)

#921

I'm signing because I am fed up and disgusted at the degrogation of any municipal or government service departments lack of concern for service delivery which is paid by US the tax payers and rate payers!

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#922

We are forced to pay for a service we dont get. Replace incompetent waste management and hold those accountable for non service delivery!

(Kemptonpark, 2021-02-13)

#923

We are desperate living like this

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#925

Im signing this petition because we are good citizens who pay our rates and taxes and look after our neighbourhood but the municipality are not using the funds that they collect wisely and are defrauding and just generally stealing the monies from the coffers. This has to stop. That is why I am signing this petition.

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#926

I want a clean city.

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#929

I am signing the petition because it is disgraceful to close so many landfill sites! We the ratepayers are entitled to have our refuse removed and taken to a landfill site. It is totally unacceptable to have hundreds of trucks standing waiting to tip their trucks. This is loss of working time for employees and loss.of fuel due to the trucks letting their engines run! Surely it can be realised by any management. I really hope this will be settled soon!! Disgusted!

(Boksburg, 2021-02-13)

#930

I am fed up with paying a fortune for services not delivered by Ekurhuleni Municipality.
Shocking state of Roads, potholes damaging cars, grass growing so high that it is a safety hazard, street names missing, people allowed to set up camp anywhere, total and disgusting decay of town and public areas, AND MOST recent OF ALL.... the crisis of refuse removal !!

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#931

I am sick and tried on this no service delivery but you keep taking my money momthly .... paying for non service delivery

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#936

I am so sick and tired of bad service delivery.....services that I pay fir that is never rendered due to had management and corruption and the stealing of funds.

(Nothmead Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#944

Benoni as a whole is filthy, rubbish lying everywhere no refuse collection, no cutting of grass etc ...

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#947

My husband works in the industry!

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#948

Kempton Park seems to becoming a dumping yard for all. The stench of rubble drop off areas can be smelt in nearby areas. The fact that you don’t have sufficient trucks to remove rubble is a disgrace. We are living like pigs. Where is the management to these plants stations, you want to tell me that they can’t see what the problem is?

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#956

I reside in Erkuhuleni and have never defaulted from paying my rates, services and utilities accounts. In return all I get from the municipality is bad service or no service.

(Kempton Park Ward 104, 2021-02-13)

#957

We need our bins collected on time ato be able to dump at the dump sute

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#958

We pay for a service....what service?
Refund the monies if refuse is not collected!!!

(Northmead, 2021-02-13)

#965

We are paying rates and taxes but receiving no service delivery
Pavements and trees overgrowth
Refuse collection not done on day and refusal to take bins not marked, utter BS!!
Loadshedding not on, upgrades should be done so we do not have to be in this position
No control over our residential areas...we need traffic control bumps as taxis are using our streets as taxi ranks and fairways
Roads full if potholes

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#966

The waist issues in Benoni is shocking!

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#970

Our metropole is "exploding" with influx of foreign citizens. Nowhere is there any indication that infrastructure is updated. Only respond after things happened and then roads are also not repaired properly where they have worked.

(Kempton Park ext 4, 2021-02-13)

#971

Unacceptable

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#973

We are paying for services that we are not receiving, it's a disgrace that public officials don't perform their duties as they took a oath of office

(Kempton Park, 2021-02-13)

#980

I am a resident in the affected municipality

(Alberton, 2021-02-13)

#981

Pathetic that the contracts are not renewed and the rate payers have to suffer

(Edenvale, 2021-02-13)

#986

The health and safety of residents should be of utmost importance and clearly it is not a priority.

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#988

It is unacceptable to pay for a service you are not getting, and it is a very serious health hazard.

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#989

Paying for services we are not getting. People responsible should be held responsible

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#991

Waste disposal is a disgrace. There are almost no facilities and those that are in total delapidation. No wonder for all the illegal dumping

(Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-13)

#997

Waste is a problem

(Benoni, 2021-02-13)

#1000

I am a resident of the area and service delivery and the health related issues with refuse removal are a problem in our area
