In a bid to ensure that the public is aware that refuse collection will continue during the holidays, Pikitup utility has compiled a schedule indicating on which days refuse will be collected and which landfill sites will be operational.

Pikitup spokesperson Pansy Oyedele said residents and businesses are also urged to put out their refuse outside by 7am to assist with the collection of refuse on the day.

She said refuse will be collected on the public holidays (18, 21, 28 April and 1 and 7 May) while recyclable material will only be collected in the participating areas on these days.

“Only four landfill sites which are; Robinson Deep, Goudkoppies, Marie Louise and Ennerdale will be operating on these public holidays,” said Oyedele.

Should residents have any further queries they can contact Joburg Connect on 011-375-5555 or 0860 562874 (0860 JOBURG), alternatively visit www.pikitup.co.za.
