Pikitup, the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, would like to advise Joburg residents and business owners that refuse will be collected on all public holidays except Christmas Day, Wednesday, 25 December 2019.
Residents whose scheduled waste collection day falls on Christmas Day are advised to keep their refuse bins inside their properties and place them outside for collection on Day of Goodwill, Thursday, 26 December 2019.
Please see below Pikitup’s service schedule for festive season below:
| DATES | REFUSE COLLECTION YES OR NO | COLLECTION OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS YES OR NO | COLLECTION OF BULKY WASTE YES OR NO | GARDEN SITES (Operating or not operating) | LANDFILL SITES (Operating or not operating) | COMMERCIAL SERVICES (Operating or not operating) |
16 DECEMBER 2019 (Monday) | Yes, Only in the Inner City | NO
| NO | YES, until 12h00 | YES ALL | Yes, as per schedule |
25 DECEMBER 2019 (Wednesday) | NO

|
26 DECEMBER 2019 (Thursday) | YES all scheduled areas | YES, only in scheduled areas | NO | YES, until 12h00 | YES, ALL | Yes, as per schedule |
1 JANUARY 2020 (Wednesday) | YES All scheduled areas | YES, only in scheduled areas | NO | YES, until 12h00 | YES, ALL | Yes, as per schedule

Pikitup is also appealing to residents to refrain from giving its employees Christmas gifts. Employees of the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity are not allowed to ask for gifts from residents.
Pikitup discourages residents from giving employees gifts because criminals also use this to their advantage. As a result, several bogus Pikitup employees were arrested on charges of fraud and misrepresentation during the 2018 festive season.
Ends.
