Annual kerbside cleanup

The annual Council Kerbside Cleanup May-June 2017

The annual Council Kerbside Cleanup happens each year during May-June and is available to all households receiving a weekly waste collection service throughout the Clarence Valley Council area.  During the cleanup, items are to be placed on the footpath at the beginning of the relevant week (ie Sunday).  This service is not available to businesses or residential premises receiving a commercial waste service.

The collection dates are staged across the Valley and will be published on this site early in 2018.

To help the collection run smoothly, Council requests that residents please note the following:

  • E-waste WILL NOT BE COLLECTED (computers, tvs, printers, hifi, phones).
  • Greenwaste WILL NOT BE COLLECTED (tree and shrub prunings, grass clippings).
  • Other items that will NOT be collected include: vehicle tyres, dangerous or hazardous materials (including liquid waste, car batteries, asbestos), industrial or building waste (including paint), concrete, gas bottles.
  • Microwaves WILL BE collected
  • A crew of two staff per truck will operate the collection service so items should be no heavier than what two people can lift.
  • The volume of waste per household will not exceed 2 cubic metres in volume (one small box trailer) and be no longer than 1.5 metres in length.
  • Loose smaller items should be placed in boxes or bags.
  • Items are to be left on the footpath where you normally position your wheelie bin, making sure it does not obstruct or endanger pedestrians or traffic.
  • Ensure latches and locking devices are removed from old fridges.
  • Council and its contractor reserve the right to refuse the collection of any item.

If you are unclear of the date that you should place your rubbish on the footpath or require more information about this service please contact the Waste Hotline 1800 335599 or Council 6643 0200.
