Residents in Ward 81 are reminded that Pikitup waste collection services were suspended on Christmas Day in line with the city’s festive season schedule.

While an earlier notice indicated that households scheduled for Thursday collections would only be serviced again on January 1, reports from the community suggest that Pikitup crews have been moving through parts of the ward on December 26 to catch up on missed rounds.
