Keeping it clean – January 2014

After a month of December Shut down with skeleton staff levels performing duty all staff are back on the road and doing their best to bring the industrial area back to a good standard. Throughout the holiday we had two staff on the road just to do litter picking and ensure that the area does not look too untidy

Over these two weeks we really got our hands dirty to collect all rubble, sweep roads, pull out weeds and we are currently busy mowing the verges where possible. The City of Cape Town does not mow verges and we are not a “garden service”, however we do attempt to assist local businesses in keeping the verges looking neat. Please remember that you need to take ownership of your verge and that upgrades lead to increased property values and potential investment in an area that looks “the part”. We are all in the business of upgrading our area together!!

The municipal camp in Helene Street became a spot where local businesses have decided to dump their rubble without considering the consequences and now we as the BCID cleansing team need to clean up the mess.

We ask that you do not dump anything in the camp as its not a dumping site. Law Enforcement and ST3 Security have been tasked to patrol in that area and will be issuing fines to offenders. Let’s please work together to keep our industrial area neat and to the benefit of everyone.

We are committed to making a difference, please take our hand and let’s do this together.
