Makana Municipality has resumed its ‘normal’ refuse collection schedule after weeks of disruption caused by the mechanical breakdown of its fleet of compaction trucks.

Makana spokesperson Anele Mjekula said one compaction truck had been repaired.

While the collection will occur according to the regular schedule, residents should expect delays as the municipality worked around the clock to fix the rest of the fleet, Mjekula said.

Some residents dumped their refuse outside the City Hall in protest earlier this month after refuse trucks failed to arrive at their homes.
