Subject: REFUSE REPICK UP and absentee/disability voting

Hi to RAS and Security Groups in ward 106 and surrounds and residents. Please pass this on where you can

I attach a notice from the SAPRA  which might help you to consider how to tackle the problem. No-one has any idea on how long it might go on

In addition a letter from our spokesperson on Waste Removal ix attached. We have also issued comment to the press in more detail.

Finally there is an attachment  on absentee/ disability voting

“A Letter to all Residents in the City of Johannesburg

While we all sit and fume at the situation which we find ourselves in, with some Residents not having their Refuse collected for two weeks or more,  due to Piki-Tup disastrous management.

Perhaps now is the time for us to start our own Recycling to prevent the huge stench if we continue to combine all our Waste. ( I do acknowledge there are many Residents who do this already and say thank you to you).

Ways of separating your waste:

Paper and cardboard: Mondi has a website where you can check what day they collect in your suburb (or you can take it to the nearest Garden site)

Plastic bottles and containers (please rinse if possible)

Bottles an glass (please rinse if possible)

Other waste such as “left overs”, peelings etc. all in a separate bag.

This is an Official announcement made by Piki-Tup:- on 7^th April2011

“To ease the pressure on residents in areas where refuse have not been collected it should be noted that four landfill sites are open and accepting domestic refuse:

 - Goudkoppies – Houthammer Road, Devland

- Marie Louise – Dobsonville Road, Roodepoort

 - Robinson Deep – Turffontein Road, Turffontein

 - Ennerdale – Old Lawley Road, Lawley

While once again the DA deplores the situation the Residents find themselves in, we believe we can rise to the occasion and show the ANC what the Citizens are made of Now is the time to Show the ANC vote DA So we can deliver for all. “

Yours truly

Cllr Marian Kemp

DA Spokesperson Pikitup
