As a result, the city said it was running out of options.
A new proposal to try to find a solution for about 200 waste pickers illegally occupying private land in West Avenue, opposite the SuperSport Park cricket stadium in Centurion, was yesterday handed to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria.
This time, the city is offering an undeveloped piece of land it owns at Ellman Street in Sunderland Ridge.
But the city made it clear that only the waste pickers were welcome, not their goods.
