Good service delivery and customer service are a hallmark of East Waste’s services and this was reflected in the feedback from Member Councils. This is very important to the Member Councils and should be seen a high priority at all times. This includes areas such as:
- Servicing all presented bins, and replacing >90% upright with the lids closed;
- Ensuring any bins that tipped over are put upright;
- Effective and positive complaint handling and timely resolution; and
- Vehicles are clean and well presented.
