Free Flood Waste Collection is available only to Hawkesbury residential properties that have been impacted by the rising flood waters, not storm or other water damage.

For flood recovery information and updates on assistance please visit Council’s website www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au or direct link www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au/emergency/flood-emergency

Flood Waste Collection will be collected from the kerbside during the recovery which will increase the speed and efficiency of the clean up process.

Residents are encouraged to move their waste to the kerbside of their property and separate the flood waste into specific piles.

Please ensure your flood waste is separated and sorted into the following types of waste to be collected on the kerbside:

  • e-waste
  • metals/whitegoods
  • mattresses
  • hard waste
  • chemicals or other hazardous materials (
  • other flood waste.

Additional Information:

  • Green waste and food waste will not be collected through this process, please place in your existing bins
  • Residents need to re-register after each collection if multiple collections are required
  • Please wear Personal Protective Equipment when handling flood waste and when finished clean up tasks, shower within the hour
  • If you are insured be sure to contact your insurer and follow their advice before disposing of any goods.

Please do not place any ineligible waste out on your kerbside, as it will not be collected and you will be responsible for the removal.

If you are physically unable to take flood waste from your property to your kerbside, please call Council’s Customer Service on 4560 4444.

Waste Services are being impacted during the floods. Schedules are subject to change but please put your bins out and they will be collected when possible.

Council will advise the community when the Hawkesbury City Waste Management Facility will open for bookings as it is currently closed due to the flood.

Flood affected community members are asked to re-register with Council for the JULY 2022 flood and for current Flood Recovery updates at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au/embeds/projects/67636/survey-tools/83405
