Kerbside cleanups

 

Find my kerbside collection dates. (Please note: you will be asked to read and accept some terms and conditions before searching for your address in the database.)

Houses, townhouses and villas receive two scheduled kerbside cleanups a year. You can find your clean up dates using the above link.

Medium density units (those under four-storeys) receive monthly kerbside cleanups. All unwanted items must be placed in your designated collection area.

High density units do not receive kerbside cleanups. Residents living in high rise apartments do not pay for a kerbside collection in their rates. Also because of the large number of residents in these high density units, there is insufficient space to present and collect items. Most of the residential high rise complexes do have an area within their complex where residents can store items, then private arrangements are made to have those items removed. Contact your strata or building manager to find out if they have something similar for your complex. If your complex does not have a private arrangement, you will need to make your own arrangements to have items removed.
