Residents of Ben-Avon and Ben-Eden in Sandton experienced major rubbish overflow due to Pikitup not providing enough skips.
Three years ago one of the skips at the estate disappeared and a few months later another skip was removed without any reason. This caused a major health hazard and created a terrible stench due to the overflow of rubbish.
Facilities manager of the estate, Kelly Manson had contacted Pikitup numerous times to inform them about this problem, however, nothing was being done.
The Sandton Chronicle contacted environmental manager, Zano Zuko and Pikitup spokesperson, Musi Mkhwanazi and informed them about the garbage problem.

Ben-Avon and Ben-Eden resident, Val Stewart said, “Within 24 hours of the Sandton Chronicle contacting the relevant people, three new skips were provided by Pikitup and 153 wheelie bins were brought in to eliminate the rubbish problem and eventually do away with the skips completely. All the rubbish is now gone and everything is neat and tidy again. My biggest thank you to the Sandton Chronicle for helping us with this problem. ”
