2009-04-03: Enjoy our great service this easter!

WE are approaching that time of the year that is traditionally littered with public holidays, but Pikitup is assuring Joburg residents that their litter won't be overflowing from refuse bins this Easter. 

Pikitup will be operating on the following public holidays: Monday the 13th (Family day), Wednesday the 22nd (Election Day), Monday the 27th of April (Freedom Day) and Friday the 1st of May 2009 (Workers' Day). 

The only interruption to this schedule would be for Joburg residents whose collection day falls on "Good Friday" the 10th of April, Pikitup urges you not to take out your refuse on this day as we have allowed our workers to spend the day off with their families.  We will collect their bins on the next collection cycle which is on Friday the 17th of April 2009. 

Pikitup's four landfill sites as well as its composting plant and garden sites will be open on Good Friday, Family day, Election Day, Freedom Day and Workers' Day.

Residents can call the Pikitup call center on 011 712 5200 or Joburg Connect on 011 375 5555 for additional information. 

Pikitup management and staff wish all Joburg residents and businesses happy Easter holidays.
