If a resident\u2019s bin is stolen they can order a replacement by sending an email to wastewise@capetown.gov.za with the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>municipal account number;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>residential address and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>name and contact number and if you are renting, include a letter of authority from the owner or managing agent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents will be issued with a reference number and their new bin should be delivered within 10 working days. The City will ensure that bagged waste at the property is collected during the waiting period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenants living in Council rental stock should visit their nearest housing office for further information on the replacement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant Twigg, Mayco member for urban waste management, emphasised the importance of residents promptly reporting stolen bins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy promptly reporting theft of bins, residents help us take proactive measures to address the issue and ensure that refuse collection services can continue smoothly. Additionally, I would like to remind property owners of their responsibility to provide enough wheelie bins for all people who live on their property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you have a big household, or backyard tenants, and your wheelie bin gets full before the refuse collection day, we urge you to apply for additional bins at the relevant tariff,\u201d said Twigg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for additional bins download and complete the Supply of Services Application Form available on the City\u2019s website. Ensure that you fill in all the sections related to refuse removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submit your application with a certified copy of your ID at your nearest walk-in centre or email it to wastewise@capetown.gov.za. If you are renting, you will need to submit a letter of authority from the property owner or managing agent with your application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Cape
