Pikitup, the waste management entity of the City of Johannesburg, will be working over the weekend (14–15 March 2026) to implement a waste collection recovery plan aimed at normalising services in parts of the city affected by recent operational disruptions, including protest-related incidents.

The recovery plan will prioritise areas serviced by the Randburg, Roodepoort, Central Camp, Midrand, Selby and Marlboro depots, which have experienced delays in waste collection. Teams at these depots will continue working over the weekend to clear backlogs and restore services.
