Johannesburg residents have been left with heaps of dirt piling up on the pavements outside their homes amid Pikitup's dirt collection backlog.

November 7, 2022The backlog has been cleared, except for one depot area, which is Marlboro, but work is under way to normalise waste collection in areas serviced by the said depot.

On Friday, following mounting complaints from residents, Pikitup said the delays were due to the appointment of new ad hoc fleet service providers and internal labour relations. “Pikitup waste collections services are two days behind schedule as a result of the appointment of new ad hoc fleet service providers and internal labour relations issues in some depots. An operational recovery plan has been set in motion and it is expected that all the collections backlog will be addressed by Sunday,” it said in a statement.

Speaking about the labour relations challenges, he explained: “Workers needed clarity on the process which was still under way for the incorporation of Pikitup drivers to drive trucks supplied by service providers, as well as employees employed by the previous service providers wanting to know if they could be employed at Pikitup permanently.” He added that all labour-related issues had since been resolved.
