A Delville resident is at his wits\u2019 end with the service delivery from the metro.<\/p>\n

When a tree fell on the electricity wires in St Julien Road, residents were left without power for a number of days.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

When the tree was removed, the electricity returned to some households within two days and to the rest of the households in three days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fault had a large impact when the line went down in St Julian Road and due to that the power in Germiston was affected,\u201d said Themba Gadebe, the spokesperson of the metro.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

However, that was not the only concern for the Delville resident.<\/p>\n

Refuse collection should be on Wednesday, but sometimes the rubbish is only collected on a Thursday, Friday or even on a Saturday.<\/p>\n

The refuse collection has not been running according to schedule and in the process some residents\u2019 bins have been stolen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have unfortunately been experiencing a huge number of breakdowns at the Germiston depot and apologise to residents for the inconvenience,\u201d said Gadebe.<\/p>\n

If your wheelie bin has been stolen you can report the case to your nearest police station and get an affidavit.<\/p>\n

You can take the affidavit, along with a copy of your ID, recent lights and water account and go to the Germiston depot to get a new bin.<\/p>\n

The Germiston depot is located on the corner of Ostend and Jack Pienaar roads, Germiston South and is open from 7am to 3.30pm from Monday to Friday.<\/p>\n
