Collection details

We make collections by area on weekdays only. We will confirm your collection date at the time of booking.

We make collections between 7am and 3pm. You understand that you will not be able to book a specific time slot.

It is your responsibility to make sure that:

  • all items to be collected are left outside of your property, just within your boundary line, on your collection day
  • only items that we have agreed to collect are left out for collection. If we are not made aware of an item by 12pm the working day before your collection is due, it will not be collected and you will have to book and pay for a new collection for it to be taken away
  • appliances are for household use only. Commercial appliances cannot be collected and no refund will be given
  • all refrigeration is empty of food and the seal is removed and left inside the appliance. If food is left in the appliance, it will not be collected and no refund will be given
  • all bulky waste items must be able to be lifted by two people. We will not collect any items that are too big for our collection team to lift

We will charge you for another bulky waste collection if we have to return to collect an item and you have not followed the guidelines.

If your item is too good to throw away, we will reuse it.
