Harare council fails to collect refuse Herald Correspondent Garbage is piling in many parts of Harare as the city council has stopped collections, after the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) emptied its bank accounts to recover PAYE the council had been deducting from staff each month, but failing to remit to the tax offices. As a result, the council says it cannot buy fuel for its trucks and there have been delays in salary payments. This has led to an increase in illegal dumpsites as residents have resorted to dumping waste on wetlands and open spaces to avoid it piling on their back yards.
