Update on refuse and recycling collection delays, and temporary drop-off restrictions from 1 July 2022

The City of Cape Town regrets to inform residents that we are still working on resolving the delays with our refuse collections in some areas and the disruption at drop-off sites.1. REFUSE COLLECTION IN WHEELIE BINS
Delays are due to contract administrative processes which need to be concluded before implementation of the new and expanded contracts.

- Mixed Waste and Builders Rubble: limited to one 1,5 ton load per client at ALL sites (while there is bin capacity, rubble must be disposed of at landfill sites).
- Garden refuse will be accepted at only the following sites: Kommetjie, Hout Bay, Mitchells Plan, Wynberg, Prince George Drive, Killarney, Tygerdal, Kraaifontein, Athlone and Gordons Bay.
Drop-offs at Coastal Park and Vissershok are not affected by the restrictions mentioned above.
The City will continue to update residents around contingency plans as the situation unfolds.
