Residents and businesses in Tshwane are advised that refuse collection will continue as per the normal schedule throughout the festive season, including on public holidays, with the exception of Christmas Day.

Customers whose refuse collection ordinarily takes place on Thursday, 25 December 2025 (Christmas Day), are requested to place their bins out for collection on Friday, 26 December
2025.

As a result, refuse normally collected on Fridays will be collected on Saturday, 27 December 2025.

The standard refuse collection schedule will resume from Monday, 29 December 2025.

Residents are further advised that all City of Tshwane waste disposal facilities, including landfills and garden refuse sites, will be closed on Christmas Day, 25 December 2025.

The city reiterates that there are strict rules prohibiting municipal employees and contractors from soliciting money or gifts from residents during the festive season.

Communities are equally discouraged from offering money or gifts, as this creates improper expectations and undermines the integrity of municipal services.

Any municipal employee or contractor found to be soliciting gifts, demanding payment, or intimidating customers will face firm disciplinary and contractual action, which may include termination of services and, where applicable, criminal investigation.

Residents who are approached or harassed for gifts are urged, where safe to do so, to take note of the individual involved, record vehicle registration details, capture images if possible
and report the incident immediately.

The city calls on all residents to remain vigilant and to assist in protecting the integrity of municipal services by reporting all incidents of solicitation or bribery.
