Kerbside Hard Waste Collection

A hard waste kerbside collection will commence in November, giving residents the opportunity to clean out items that are too bulky for household bins.

“This service is a great opportunity for residents get rid of bulky items like furniture, household appliances and whitegoods, electronic equipment, empty paint tins, timber and scrap metal”, said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan. “All towns in the Shire area will receive a hard waste kerbside collection, and all villages will have access to a hard waste kerbside collection by appointment.” 

“With a maximum limit of two cubic metres – the equivalent of a standard skip bin – residents will be able to clear out their unwanted items,” said Cr Doolan.

All items for collection will need to be on the kerbside a week prior to collection. 

For the town areas (less than 100km speed zone limits) covering Coonabarabran and Baradine hard waste collection will commence from 21 November 2022. The collection will then move on to town areas (less than 100km speed zone limits) covering Coolah, Binnaway, Dunedoo and Mendooran hard waste collection will commence from 5 December 2022. 

Bookings will need to be made for kerbside hard waste collection for residents living in villages or in 100km speed zone areas. Bookings for hard waste pickup service can be arranged by calling (02) 6849 2000 or email to info@warrumbungle.nsw.gov.au. 

For the villages of Bugaldie, Kenebri, Ulamambri and Purlewaugh bookings for waste collections will close on 10 November 2022 and waste collection will commence 21 November 2022. The villages of Leadville, Cobbora, Merrygoen, Weetaliba, Neilrex, and Uarbry, bookings for pickups will close on 24 November 2022 and collection will commence 5 December 2022.

“For the safety of our community members and motorists, please ensure items placed on the kerbside for hard waste collection are a safe distance from the road,” Cr Doolan concluded.
