ILLEGAL DUMPING
The municipality needs your help to combat illegal dumping:

1. Please spread the news in your community that dumping waste is dangerous and a health hazard. Waste should be collected in refuse bags and placed for collection on waste removal days. Builders’ rubble and waste not suitable for bags must be dropped at the municipal refuse site on the R102 (airport road).
2. If you can provide names, vehicle registration details or addresses of alleged perpetrators and are willing to make a statement in this regard, please report it to Law Enforcement at 044 801 6350 or gmun@george.gov.za. You don’t need a photograph of the perpetrator, but it will strengthen the case for a warning or fine to be issued.
3. If you notice dumped waste, please report for collection to 044 802 2900.

The George Municipality has become aware of an alleged scam in which individuals are posing as Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) personnel to extort money from job seekers.

Reports indicate that the scammer asks for money in exchange for a promise to add the applicant to the EPWP employment list for the upcoming month. The scammer further instructs victims to send the money through a money transfer service, after which they are told to collect their uniform from the EPWP.

The municipality confirms that this is a scam. The George Municipality’s EPWP will never request payment for a guaranteed appointment.
