Residents in the city are tired of seeing their refuse bags piling up on the streets.<\/p>\n

Refuse has not been collected for about two weeks and although residents have contacted the metro to find out what the problem was they were left with no satisfactory answers.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Following numerous requests by the GCN for comment from the metro, this response was finally received from Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro: \u201cThere have been contributing issues that have had an effect on the service in Germiston, namely labour unrest and SAMWU general meetings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWaste management services sincerely apologises for the inconvenience caused and anticipates that all backlogs will be cleared by the end of the week.\u201d<\/p>
