Windhoek Residents Face Possible Delays in Household Waste Collection. Windhoek residents may experience delays in household waste collection due to mechanical issues affecting the city’s waste management trucks. The City of Windhoek has warned that disruptions in the regular collection schedule could occur while efforts are made to repair the affected vehicles.
According to city officials, a number of compactor trucks responsible for collecting household waste have developed mechanical faults, reducing the fleet’s operational capacity. This has resulted in slower collection times in certain areas, with some residents already noticing a delay in their waste pickup.
Authorities have urged residents to leave their waste bins outside until collection is completed, even if there are delays. The city has assured the public that it is actively addressing the mechanical issues and working to restore regular collection services as quickly as possible.
Municipal officials have confirmed that teams are working on repairing the affected vehicles to minimize disruptions. While no specific timeline has been provided, the city has committed to providing updates through official communication channels.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed by following announcements from the City of Windhoek regarding the status of waste collection services.
