Let Pikitup collect your bulk waste
The City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, can dispose of any unwieldy or bulky items that you might have on your property.
DO you have an old and unused refrigerator in your garden that you want to get rid of but don’t have the wherewithal to do so?
If that is the case, then Pikitup, the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, can dispose of any unwieldy or bulky items that you might have on your property, such as old mattresses, electric stoves, computers, humidifiers, ovens and electric stoves, free of charge and hassle free, to keep the city clean and prevent the scourge of illegal dumping.
According to Pikitup MD Amanda Nair, it is simple. All that Johannesburg residents have to do is call their nearest Pikitup depot and provide details of the bulky waste that needs collecting. What Pikitup then does is schedule a service for that particular customer. There’s a service programme in place. If residents go to www.pikitup.co.za they will be able to see the dates and the weekly collections.
She told Morning Live anchor Leanne Manas that the programme had seen the disposal of more than 4 000 tons of bulk waste since it was introduced in March 2015.
The COURIER has been writing warnings and advice to try to enlighten all residents to participate in the processes of eradicating illegal dumping. Contact the Selby depot on 087 357 1938 or the Southdale depot on 087 357 1261.
