The new tender specification for the collection of recyclable waste within the Bitou Municipal area is currently in process and has reached the first of three stages of bid committees to consider the award.
In order to cover the interim period, the municipality advertised a Request for Quotations (RFQ). Unfortunately, all bids received exceeded the maximum threshold as allowed by the municipality`s Supply Chain Management policy. The RFQ will now be re-advertised, and the finalisation of this process will be prioritised.
In the interim the following measure will be implemented as of Monday, July 17, 2023, until further notice for the disposal of recyclable waste only.
Skip bins will be placed at the following areas on the following days:
- Depot – Daily
- Airport Road – Mondays (Corner of Jakkals Kraal- E sector)
- Corner of Challenge Drive – Tuesdays
Harkeville – Tuesday (N2 opposite to Sasol Garage)
- Longships – Wednesday (opposite Jument Park)
- Crags – Wednesday (Corner. Rondebosch and Redford Road)
(Corner. N2 and Redford Road)
(Entrance Engen Garage next to Kurland)
- Poortjies – Thursdays (next to pump station)
- Wittedrift – Fridays (next to the shops)
Residents are assured that skip bins will be removed on the same day as they are placed and will not be left in those areas, as the purpose is only for the disposal of recyclable waste.
Residents are urged to refrain from disposing of household waste in the skip bins.
Collection of household waste will take place as per the usual schedule.
