Free bulk waste collection by Pikitup across the city is available to all residents
The service is aimed at preventing illegal dumping and to increase the lifespan of landfill sites.
Pikitup provides a free bulk waste collection service to residents and discourages the illegal dumping of unwanted goods.
Old mattresses, furniture, fridges and other large items will be collected. This is partly also to prevent recyclables away from landfill sites to increase their lifespan.
Pikitup said residents who wanted to dispose of bulk waste were urged to contact their nearest Pikitup depots or use the nearest garden refuse sites. Once a resident has logged a call at any of the Pikitup depots, the responsible depot manager will book a call and arrange for a free once-a-month bulk waste service.
