Scheduled Council clean up

Council holds two general clean ups per year, usually in May and November. Check the online waste calendar to find out the exact date for the clean up in your area. Residents are also notified via letterbox drop about clean up dates for their street.

How to prepare for your Clean Up 

• Please separate white goods, metals, garden waste and mattresses into different piles. These materials may be collected by different collection crews.
• Items suitable for collection must be placed on the kerb outside your premises the Sunday before collection in your street begins. Any items placed out earlier could be considered illegal dumping. 
• Please remove all doors and locks from refrigerators and other items that have compartments.
• Don’t put out materials that are too dangerous or too large
• Don’t put out commercial, industrial or building waste out for collection – these will not be collected
• Don’t place materials so they block the footpath or hinder pedestrian access
• Don’t place materials out late – they will not be collected.
