Book a Council Clean-up

Book Now

Phone bookings: 1300 655 006.

Council provides four free clean-up collections for each household annually. Wait times can apply, so book in advance.

Please note that items disposed of via this service have a low recycling / recovery rate. So please consider selling or giving away unwanted items on Gumtree or eBay, at The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre, donating to a local charity, or seeking out dedicated recycling services for different material types.  

If you have recently moved properties and the previous owners/occupants have exhausted the four (4) bookings for the calendar year, please contact Council at service@lanecove.nsw.gov.au

What to do next 

  • Take note of your booking reference number and collection date

  • Place your items out the night before your collection day. If material is placed out earlier, you could be fined
