George Municipality wishes to inform residents about delays in refuse collection caused by the breakdown of several compactor trucks.

While some trucks have already been repaired, the current number of operational vehicles is insufficient to ensure prompt collection.

Affected Areas:
• Wilderness East: Collection will begin later than scheduled.
• George CBD, Businesses, Schools, and Glentana: Expect delays in refuse collection.

To manage the situation, internal operations have been adjusted to prioritise the use of available trucks. Refuse collection in the affected areas will commence as soon as trucks complete their initial rounds.

Important Information:
Residents are kindly requested to leave their refuse outside until collection is completed. Rest assured; all refuse will be collected as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Na aanleiding van die vroeëre verslag oor ‘n pypbars in Langstraat, Uniondale, kan ons nou bevestig dat alle watervoorsiening in die geaffekteerde gebiede herstel is.

Ons bedank die geaffekteerde inwoners vir hul geduld.

George Municipality would like to inform the public that refuse collection in the Wilderness East Area began after 15:00 this afternoon due to the breakdown of 7 compactor trucks.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your understanding.

This scheduled Planned Power Outage in various areas across George has been cancelled by ESKOM.
