Caging the dirt problems in IY
Sentinel News
|August 08, 2025
The Hout Bay Men's Shed (HBMS) has embarked on a project to address the litter crisis in the community by installing new dirt cages.
The steel cages were built and erected around bins holding rubbish to prevent stray dogs from rummaging through waste, leaving a mess and attracting rodents.
Locals were facing several problems, and the HBMS team seemed to have come up with a solution to combat the problem ("Organisation looking to cage dirt problems in IY", Sentinel News, June 24, 2025).
Richard Butterfield, a member of the HBMS, confirmed that the first cage was installed around one of the problem dump sites in the IY community.
