Book a clean-up collection

Book your collection online

Council clean-up collections are for large, damaged household items that are too big for your bins. Waverley residents have one scheduled collection per year, plus can book an additional two 'Your Call' collections per calendar year using the button above. See below to find your scheduled collection date, and to understand what items can and cannot be included in your clean-up collection.

Please note, leaving items on the street without a confirmed clean-up booking is considered illegal dumping, which attracts significant fines.

Before booking, consider selling or donating

We are unable to recycle, repair or reuse most items collected in a clean-up. Why not donate, give away or sell instead? Donate good quality items to The Bower Reuse & Repair Centre. They will pick them up from your home and rehome them to people in need. Find out which items are accepted and donate now.

Place your clean-up items neatly on the kerb the evening before collection. Be mindful not to block roadways or footpaths.
Items put out too early may attract illegal dumping as passers-by can add to the pile.
Each clean-up collection should not exceed 2 cubic metres.
Remove doors off fridges and other appliances whenever possible.
Think about the safety of your neighbours and our crew when presenting your materials. For example, mirrors of any size must be wrapped to prevent glass from shattering.
Remove batteries from small appliances – batteries are hazardous and should be safely dropped off at one of our drop-off stations.

Waverley Council's clean-up collection service helps to reduce the cost and pollution associated with illegal dumping, and is not designed to recover resources. We are unfortunately unable to recycle, repair or reuse most items collected aside from mattresses, large metal items and certain whitegoods. Mattresses (made of cotton and metal springs) and whitegoods (made mostly form metal) and other metal items are separated out at the transfer station and recycled. All other items collected in clean-up service are sent to landfill at this time. Council continues to research ways to divert these items from landfill.

Before booking a clean-up, review our A-Z waste guide as there may be a way to recycle or donate your items.
