Phone bookings: 1300 655 006. We provide four free clean-up collections for each household annually. Wait times can apply, so book in advance. All items collected go to landfill, so before you book, consider selling or giving away unwanted items on Gumtree or eBay, at The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre, having a garage sale or asking your local charity.  

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
