Clean-Up Guidelines

Maximum quantity of material accepted is no larger than 1.5m cubic metres.

• Materials for collection must be placed on the nature strip as near to the street gutter as possible (no earlier and no later than) the day before
  your collection date.

• Materials for collection must be presented neatly on the nature strip and are not to present any obstruction to the footpath or roadway.

• Each item for collection should be of a size and bulk that is no greater than two average-sized adults can comfortably carry.

• Households on corner blocks must leave material at the front of the premises i.e. on the street that is their address. For example, if the premises is on the corner of Homebush Rd and Redmyre Rd and the address of the premises is 65 Homebush Rd, rubbish should be left at the front of the premises in Homebush Road. If this is not possible due to safety reasons, please notify Council’s Waste Hotline on 9748 9611 at least two (2) weeks prior to your Clean-Up collection.

Only the following materials are accepted:

• Household furniture and small appliances e.g. non-metal tables, non-metal beds, mattress, chairs, heater.

It is important that the Clean-Up Guidelines are followed.
