CLEAN City Africa, a private company engaged by City of Harare
to collect refuse in selected residential areas, yesterday said residents will
not be billed twice under the deal. The two institutions have entered into an
deal where residents of Alexandra Park, the Avenues, Avondale, Belvedere,
Borrowdale, Cranborne, Eastlea, Greendale, Southerton, Mbare, Mt Pleasant,
Tafara, Waterfalls, Westgate, Hatcliffe, Hatfield, Highlands, Mabelreign and
Mabvuku will have their refuse collected by Clean City.
But there were fears that residents would pay both the City
of Harare and Clean City, a situation seen as grossly unfair.
A statement from Clean City yesterday said fears of double
billing were misplaced: “That is not the true. Residents will not be charged
twice for refuse collection but only once, and any suggestion to the contrary
is inaccurate, if not mischievous.”
Acording to an advert flighted by the company, Clean City
will collect refuse for a monthly fee of $19,50 for high-density suburbs and
$28,50 for medium and low-density suburbs.
Clean City said besides the City of Harare, it had also
engaged various residents’ associations representing suburbs such as Glen
Lorne, Sunningdale, Borrowdale and Warren Park, among many others.
Furthermore, Clean City says it also met the Combined
Harare Residents’ Association, and sold the idea of making the Harare city
“clean and healthy again”
The company said residents’ representatives were all
“happy” with the proposal. Herald
