• For a scheduled clean-up collection, items must be presented neatly on the kerb the Sunday evening prior to your collection date. Note: collections are completed within the nominated collection week.
• For a ‘Your Call’ collection, items must be presented neatly on the kerb the evening prior to your collection date.
• 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 collection should not exceed 2 cubic metres (2 metres x 1 metre x 1 metre).
• Remove doors off fridges and other appliances whenever possible.
• Think about the safety of your neighbours and our crew when presenting your materials e.g. mirrors of any size must be wrapped to prevent glass from shattering.
