Do I need to make a booking for a kerbside collection?:
No. The kerbside bulky waste collection will occur once, during a two-week period. The timing of your bulky waste collections depends on the same ‘Week A / Week B’ yellow-bin recycling collection calendars, which are generally based on your location compared to Anson Street.
· If you live east of Anson Street, please place your bulky waste out on Sunday 31 January.
· If you live west of Anson Street, please place your bulky waste out on Sunday 14 February.
The collection will occur at any time during the two weeks after this date. There will be only one collection from your address. Once your bulky waste has been collected, please do not put out more waste. It will not be collected again.
If you would like a bulky waste kerbside collection outside of these times, during the course of the year, you will need to phone Council for an extra collection at a cost to you.
Can I put out household appliances such as electronic appliances like vacuums to be collected?
Yes, however this does not include ‘e-waste’.
• E-Waste will not be collected in the kerbside bully waste collections. E-waste are products such as TVs, computers, monitors etc. Basically “technology’ products.
• Household appliances will be collected. This includes products such as vacuums, fans, toasters, etc.
Where do I put my bulky waste?
Please place your bulky waste neatly next to the edge of the kerb on the nature strip and not blocking the footpath. Place it close to the spot where you normally place your bins each week. Please secure items to avoid windblown littering.
How much bulky waste can I put out?
The volume of waste collected from any one property must be less than two cubic metres or about the size of a standard (6′ x 4′) level box trailer.
Please make sure :
· Items must be of manageable size for two people to lift (Max 30kg)
· Loose items must be tied securely with rope or string (not wire), into bundles or contained in sturdy boxes.
So that we can recycle as much of the bulky waste as possible, three trucks will come by each address at about the same time.
