Double Lockable Bins
The City of Cape Town needs the support of residents to ensure a baboon free residential area. If you live in a baboon raiding area, the City of Cape Town requires you to have a double lockable bin secured with two padlocks. The City’s waste removal trucks which serve baboon areas have been converted to open and empty the bins, even with the locks in place. The keys are not needed by City staff.
By keeping your bin locked you not only help to prevent baboon raids, but also help to assist waste staff who are obliged to clean up the mess left by the baboons after a raid. This poses a real health hazard and makes for a very unpleasant job.
