These trucks will augment our existing fleet and help us to better manage the increasing waste collection demands of our growing population.
According to the Municipal Manager; Lekgetho Mokgatlhe; the new trucks will increase the efficiency of waste collection services, reducing the time taken for collection routes and ensuring timely waste removal. “With the addition of these trucks, we aim to provide more reliable and consistent waste collection services, minimize blockages on sanitation infrastructure due to littering by our community. Refuse collection has not been done according to the schedule due to old fleet that would break down from time to time. Now we are happy that we will restore the status of cleanliness in our town’, explained Mokgatlhe.

This is the step towards the right direction and we are hopeful that with time we will acquire more fleet to accelerate service delivery in our municipality. Few months ago, we managed to procure a grader, cherry picker, five Mahindra bakkies) and two TLBs. We would like to urge the members of the community to work together with the municipality and refrain from dumping waste anywhere. Illegal dumping is not allowed and we should work together to keep our town clean. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Love your town”, urged the mayor.
