Annual Bulky Waste pickup

Annual Bulky Waste Pickup

An annual bulky waste collection service is available to households with an existing kerbside waste collection service in Upper Hunter Shire.
> From 19 October 2020.
Details will be updated soon.

Ensure items are secure to avoid windblown littering.
All waste is expected to be collected by 1 November 2020.
The collection service will not return to any street that has already been serviced.
Any waste placed by kerbsides outside of this 2 week period will be considered illegal waste and fines could apply.
