Residents and businesses are advised by the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, Pikitup, that refuse will be collected on all public holidays except on Christmas Day, Tuesday, 25 December.
Residents whose scheduled waste collection day falls on Christmas Day are advised to keep their refuse bins inside their properties and place them outside on Tuesday, 1 January 2019, for collection.
Pikitup is also appealing to residents to refrain from giving its employees Christmas gifts. Employees of the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity are barred from asking for gifts from residents. Pikitup discourages residents from giving employees gifts because criminals also use this to their advantage.
As a result, several bogus Pikitup employees were arrested on charges of fraud and misrepresentation during the 2017 festive season.
