Update
PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - The first positive step to reduce the baboon problem in the south of Plettenberg Bay has been taken by Bitou municipality - it has started implementing measures to reduce the food source of baboons.
From Tuesday 11 June refuse collection in the area will be scheduled first and will start at 07:30.
The area covered by the new plan is from the intersection of Robberg and Lismore roads to Piesang Valley road, up to Daedalus Reef Drive on the seaward side.
In July, the municipality is to introduce a “no bag” refuse policy, with only refuse from wheelie bins being collected.
Bitou municipality communications department said in a statement issued on Friday 7 June that the Plett south area is expected to be designated as a “no bag zone”, due to the frequent baboon activity.
A council-approved solid waste by-law will kick in then.
