Book a Household Clean-Up

Each residential rated property has two free clean-up collections per year:

  • One scheduled clean-up (date set by Council)
  • One booked clean-up

Note that some properties such as shop-top housing may not be rated residential, do not pay domestic waste charges and are not provided with non-charged clean-up collections. Unit blocks that are not subdivided and only pay one domestic waste charge are allocated one scheduled clean-up and one booked clean-up per year for the building.

Additional collections are available at a cost. Cost is determined based on the size of the collection.

To help ensure your household clean-up collection runs smoothly and to enable our drivers to remove your items safely, we ask that you:

  • put items on the kerb the day before the assigned collection day.
  • ensure you don't exceed the maximum volume of 1.5 cubic metres
  • stack items neatly and safely and put small items into bags or boxes.
  • Furniture and household items

  • Baby items and toys
  • Garden tools and equipment Sporting goods and camping equipment
  • Clothing and shoes (bundled together)
  • Rugs and carpet cut into 1m lengths

Waste left on the street outside of your collection times (or on public land at any time) is deemed illegal dumping and may lead to a heavy fine.

If any clean-up items are deemed unsuitable they will be rejected.

Items unsuitable for collection will be left behind and a non-collection notice will be left in your mailbox.

Items not collected in your clean-up service:

  • Household Waste,  Food Scraps, Recyclable or Medical Waste
  • Building / Renovation / Construction Material or Commercial Waste i.e. timber, asbestos, concrete, gyprock, bricks, sink, bathtubs, kitchen cabinets etc

These items can be disposed of at regular e-waste drop off days at the Council Operations Centre
