CHANGES TO BULKY WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE

A new bulky waste collection service will be introduced in July 2023, replacing the annual bulky waste collection process.

Collection will be spread throughout the year with an on-call service which enables homeowners to arrange collection free of charge at a time that best suits the household.

The new process hands control of bulky waste pick-up to residents while reducing unsightly kerbside waste. It is also a more cost-effective option for the ratepayer. Further information on booking arrangements and service details will be provided closer to the date.

PICTURED: Your bulky waste ends up in landfill at Grafton. The new Landfill Cell 4C is in the final stages of preparation to start accepting waste. The impervious new cell at Grafton Regional Landfill includes a compacted one-metre thick clay liner, covered with 2mm thick highdensity polyethylene (HDPE) liner and 30mm leachate drainage and collection system. The Grafton Regional Landfill facility is fortunate to have long-term capacity. For many councils it is hard to find locations that are suitable for the environment and the community.
