To book a clean up, please follow these easy steps:
Carpet, carpet underlay or vinyl flooring should be cut and rolled into 1 metre lengths and tied with string or tape.
Each individual item must be able to be reasonably lifted by two people. Items which are not reasonably able to be lifted by two people due to excessive weight or size (2m long) will not be accepted.
For items such as refrigerators and freezers, remove the doors before placing them at the kerbside.
Ensure that refrigerators are degassed before collection to comply with safety regulations.
Ensure all batteries are removed prior to placing items out for collection.
Drain fuel and oil from any applicable appliances, such as lawnmowers.
Securely tie and bundle loose materials into manageable loads.

The Kerbside Clean Up Service is not available to vacant, commercial or industrial properties.
A single Kerbside Clean Up Service is limited to a maximum of three [3] cubic meters of material (3m x 1m x 1m). If materials exceed three cubic meters, residents can request a 'double' service, allowing for up to six [6] cubic meters of material (6m x 1m x 1m). Please note that the total number of single services is capped at three per financial year, and arranging a double service will count as two single service bookings.
Bookings are based on availability. The next available booking date will be shown for your property at the time of booking.
Council reserves the right to reallocate your booking date for any reason. Residents will be notified by phone, SMS or email if impacted by such changes.
Bookings can be cancelled by providing Council with a minimum of 5 days’ notice prior to your booking date. If your booking is not cancelled within this timeframe, it may be counted towards the property’s number of eligible services. Please contact Council’s Customer Relations Team on 13 22 63 to cancel a booking, or click on the ‘Cancel your booking’ button on your booking confirmation email.
If Council attends a property and the material is not placed out on the kerb, this may be counted towards the property’s number of eligible services.
Council reserves the right to reject unacceptable material. It will be the responsibility of the resident to remove and dispose of the unacceptable material appropriately within 24 hours.
To schedule a Kerbside Clean Up for a retirement village, strata property or similar, please contact your Property Manager to arrange the booking.

Material is to be placed in a safe location away from power poles. If you live near a roundabout or intersection, please contact Council's Customer Relations Team on 113 22 63 to arrange a safe location for the material to be placed.
All material placed on the kerbside, service laneway or public area is considered the property of the owner or tenant and is their responsibility until collected and removed by Council.
Any materials placed on the kerbside, service laneway or public area in a manner contrary to these terms and conditions may be considered illegal and fines may apply.
