Waste & Recycling Calendar 1 Jan - 31 Dec 2020

All households can pre-book two bulky goods collections in a 12 month period. Residents living in multi-unit dwellings are encouraged to contact their Strata Manager or Body Corporate to organise a communal bulky goods collection. Material must only be placed out the night before the collection date. Residents may be fined if they dump material on other booked collections or place it on the kerb without making a prior booking.

Bulky Goods Collection Service

Maximum 3 cubic metres (3 x 1 x 1m), similar to small box trailer

Large items must be dismantled so two people can load

Bookings must be made before materials are left out for collection

Ensure nails are not protuding from any items

Doors are removed from fridges and other whitegoods

Metal items should be placed in a separate pile for recycling

Items must not be longer than 1.5m or heavier than 40kg (except whitegoods when noted in booking)

Don’t send all your items to landfill - give them a second life. Consider the many ways you can sell, recycle or upcycle before you book your collection service. For tips to reduce your waste, visit Council’s website.

To book a collection, visit northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au or call 1300 434 434

Food waste

To help avoid food waste and save money on your grocery bill, visit lovefoodhatewaste.nsw.gov.au

Household chemicals

For drop off locations and Chemical CleanOut events visit cleanout.com.au or call the EPA Environment Line on 131 555

Soft plastics

Recycle bread bags, frozen food and veggie bags, old green bags, cereal liners and other soft plastics at Coles or Woolworths. Visit redcycle.net.au

Make sure that rubbish and recycling is not on top of or beside the bin.

This ensures your bin will be collected and prevents crows, possums and other animals from spreading litter.

Where possible, avoid placing bins on the road as this obstructs vehicle access.

To ensure collection, items must be in the bin with the lid closed flat.

Bins should be on the kerb 20cm apart and lid opening facing the street.

Maximum bin weight: • 80L bin - 40kg • 140L bin - 70kg • 240L bin - 110kg

Please contact Council if you need to report a damaged or missing bin, or see any illegal dumping.
