Pikitup Service Delivery Challenge

Disruptions have been experienced in the collection of refuse over the past few weeks. These disruptions are due to temporary infrastructural problems relating to vehicles, as the current fleet management contract has come to an end. A new fleet contract is being put in place.
 
The disruption could affect residents for the next few weeks but, Pikitup will work extra hours including weekends to complete all its weekly rounds all backlogs and excess waste will be collected as well.
 
Pikitup is requesting that if a resident’s refuse has not been collected on the scheduled day; their bin(s) should be left outside for collection the following day. Management apologises for any inconvenience caused and promises the residents that the situation will be normalised as soon as possible.
 
Should affected residents have any further queries, Pikitup would like to encourage them to contact Joburg Connect on (011) 375 5555 or visit Pikitup’s website on www.pikitup.co.za.
