Each household may put out a maximum equivalent of one standard box trailer load (2m3). Anything in excess of this may not be collected. It will be up to you to remove this uncollected excess waste, which will be considered as illegally dumped waste once the bulky waste service has ceased.
Keep your total waste under the capacity of one standard box trailer load (2m3).
Stack waste neatly and securely on the edge of the kerb. DO NOT BLOCK the footpath or roadway.
Hedge or shrub prunings, twigs and leaves. Small branches up to 150mm diameter.
Larger items such as unrepairable furniture, old floor coverings, broken glass (wrapped in newspaper). Items that are beyond their useful life will go into landfill.
Take these items to any Shire waste management facility (WMF) for recycling or appropriate treatment. Fees apply.
Please note that Council will run two free drop-off events in early 2022, one for mattresses and one for tyres. Further information on these events will be released once dates are finalised.
These events are sponsored by the EPA
