Bulawayo mayor David Coltart said sorry to residents after trash pickup got wrecked because the city's four brand-new garbage trucks all went in for service at the same time, while the older ones sat broken in the shop. People who missed collection got told to haul their bags back inside instead of leaving them out for dogs to rip apart, and Coltart admitted some high-density neighborhoods went almost a month without water from busted pumps and power outages.
