Bulk Cardboard Booking
This Service is only available to households where a waste charge is paid.
How much waste will be collected?
Households can book 2 collections of up to 1 cubic metre per financial year, or 1 collection of up to 2 cubic metres. One collection is 1 cubic metres – 1 metres long x 1 metre high x 1 metre wide. In feet this equates to 3ft x 3ft x 3ft.
Unacceptable items will not be collected - please check the listing below of what will and will not be collected.
Items placed on the nature strip without a booking are considered as illegal dumping and may result in a fine.
A booked collection will be either hard rubbish, bundled branches or bulk cardboard, not all 3 in the same collection.
