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. Read on for the dates and conditions of the service for 2021.

Please respect your neighbours

How much you can put out

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.

Stack your waste into two tidy piles
