Show Notes
Pikitup, Johannesburgs waste management service, is making strides in restoring normal trash collection following protests and weather-related delays. Ten out of twelve depots are now operational, but Randburg and Roodepoort are lagging with significant backlogs. Protests over permanent jobs and logistical challenges, such as the Marie Louise landfill shutdown, are hindering recovery. Residents in affected areas are experiencing overflowing bins and unpleasant odors, but Pikitup urges patience as core services continue elsewhere. Recent social media updates show varying progress, with some depots finishing most routes while others, like Midrand, Randburg, Roodepoort, and Waterval, have streets scheduled for Wednesday pickup after Tuesday shortfalls. Teams are working tirelessly to clear the backlog, and residents can check disposal sites or follow updates online for the latest information.
