My house borders on Illovo Street between Coege and Ifafa Street and I have a big problem.
It is disgusting the amount of trash that people dump, which includes their personal items of rubbish. The veld resembles a cesspool and clearly, the people who dump their rubbish and trash there has no respect for their neighbours let alone themselves.
What they don’t seem to understand is that the rubbish they dump brings rats, which are now beginning to infest the area. I’ve been asking the council for years to put up no dumping signs there but to no avail. Please let me know what my legal rights are when I find people dumping in this area. It is really a shame that a human can do this and spoil the bit of birdlife we have in the area. If cleanliness is next to Godliness our street is surely contaminated with heathens.
