Cost: $32 for up to 3m 3 of material with 2 working days’ notice. Where the volume exceeds 3m 3 an additional charge of $12.00 per m 3 shall apply.

What material is collected?

Please place metals and whitegoods in a separate pile to non-metal clean up material.

Metal and non-metal clean up materials are collected from the kerbside in separate vehicles to maximise the opportunity for recycling and reprocessing the metal material.

Did you know that all items collected during the household clean ups end up as landfill?

Sending waste to landfill causes environmental pollution, but you can prevent this from happening by sorting your unwanted household items for recycling or reuse:

  • Place metal items such as bike frames, whitegoods, and clotheslines in a separate pile to be recycled
  • Electronic waste can be recycled, there are now a number of options listed here
  • Clothes can be donated to charities by placing them in the charity bins located in Mosman
  • Mattresses can be recycled through Dreamsafe (1300 551 245)
  • Refrigerators can be recycled through the Fridge Buy Back Program (1800 708 401)
