Refuse collection in eastern parts of the city temporarily delayed

11 February 2025

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Waste Management Directorate would like to inform residents that refuse collection in the eastern region of the city is temporarily being delayed by a staff protest at the Kuils River depot.

It is expected that this will result in delayed collection of refuse throughout the region, which includes the Somerset West/Gordons Bay, Khayelitsha, and Kuils River areas. Please find a map of affected regions here.

Residents in affected areas are advised to bring their bins inside if collection has not taken place by 21:00 and place them outside again each morning until the service is completed.

The City is actively engaging with staff and their representatives so that services can resume in the soonest time possible.

The City apologises for the inconvenience and assures residents every effort is being made to resolve this matter as soon as possible and resume services.

End
