When do you expect your recycling pilot to be complete and when we can expect this service in Weltevreden Park? The pilot project was initially scheduled to take place for 6-12 months however this has been prolonged to provide conclusive data. The findings of the project will inform Pikitup on the best way to roll-out Separation at Source throughout the City of Johannesburg. We urge residents to be patient as we fine tune Separation at Source ahead of this roll-out. For more information please contact Pikitup by dialling the Joburg Connect number 011 375 5555 or emailing us at info@joburgconnect.co.za |
| How can we participate if our area does not fall within the Waterval Area?
There is a Garden Refuse Site within easy reach of all home owners within the Johannesburg Area. These sites have recycling facilities for all Separation at Source items. Please take your recyclables to the Refuse Transfer Sites in the meantime. Please click on the link below to locate your nearest Garden Refuse Site.

| On what date in 2010 will the garden waste collection begin? (Green Lid)

When did the project start?
|
|
| Why are you not Recycling/collecting Oil and E-Waste?
The service is provided at selected Garden Sites. |
|
| Why do I need an extra bin? I have two bins already
Additional bins will only be necessary during Phase 3 which involves the collection of Green Waste. Pikitup will request you to put a decal on your bin and you can continue using it, decals are for identification purpose during collection and to assist residents as to what should be placed in the disposal bin. |
|
| What’s the reason for the initiative?
To preserve the environment and to prolong landfill airspace which is running out. Once the landfill sites are full the city will pay a premium to transport waste long distances to landfills outside the City of Joburg boundaries. |
|
| How do I benefit from the project, any incentive/reward for my effort?
A cleaner and healthier environment and lower disposal costs for your refuse in the long run. |
|
| Who is responsible for collecting my clear heavy duty recycle bag from the pavement?
Mondi Recyclers will collect the orange recycle bag and the clear heavy duty recycle bag when they do their rounds |
|
| When does Mondi do their Rounds?
On the same day as Pikitup does Refuse Collection Rounds - see link to collection days above. |
|
| Where can I get extra heavy duty bags from?
Extra heavy duty recycling bags may be collected from Pikitup's Waterval Depot between 7.30 and 15h30 Monday to Friday. Please bring your rates bill with you. |
|
| Where is the Waterval Depot situated?
2 Alberts Street, Albertsville |
|
|
If I have a problem, i.e. bag not collected when the other rubbish is removed who should I contact?
|
|
| What should I recycle?
See link to What can and what cannot be recycled. |
|
| Can I place Chain Store Plastic Bags in the container?
Yes, in fact it is a great help if you use the normal plastic bags to separate the categories of waste that you put into your clear, heavy duty plastic bag, i.e. cans in one, plastic bottles in another, glass in another, (please remember to be very careful when placing glass containers into the recycle bag. If you would like to wrap glass for recycling in newspaper for safety's sake, please do so. |
| What about green waste, can I place that in the heavy duty, clear plastic bag?
No not at all, green waste may be disposed of at any one of the Pikitup Garden Sites in your area, please refer to the website for more details - Garden Sites |
|
| Can I order extra bags by e-mail, telephone or fax?
No, extra bags will only be available from the Waterval Depot, Mondi will replace damaged bags, and if you place an extra heavy duty bag outside on collection day, they will replace that as well. |
| Why is this project only being run in the Waterval Area?
This is a pilot project, this is why it is so important for all residents, businesses and schools in the Waterval Area to help make this a huge success. |
|
| How do Townhouse Complexes, Flats, Churches and Crèches in the area obtain their heavy duty plastic recyling bags?
Please call 011 712-5200 to arrange for a representative to come out and assess your needs. |
