The Bitou Municipality is determined to eradicate illegal dumping and calls on the public to become more involved.

Last week, the Integrated Waste Management Section of the municipality cleaned up an illegal dumpsite in Qolweni.

The group further educated residents about the dangers of illegal dumping.

While no loss of life was recorded in the Bitou area due to the heavy downpour at the weekend, the Bitou Disaster Management team remains on high alert.
