Pikitup Dump site

Scrap disposal in Johannesburg works differently depending on what you're dealing with. Building rubble from renovations — bricks, concrete, plasterboard — needs crushing and screening before it can go anywhere. Metal off-cuts from panel-beaters and auto shops require sorting by grade: copper, aluminium, stainless steel all trade differently. The seasonal rhythm matters too: summer brings garden waste surges after heavy Highveld storms, while winter sees industrial scrap accumulation spike. Johannesburg's traffic patterns mean morning drop-offs beat congested afternoons. Sites managing this flow deal with everything from illegally dumped refrigerators (the freon has to be extracted) to carefully sorted recyclables. It's not just about collecting; it's understanding what can actually be processed where.
