Conditions for free clean up service

Please read the following conditions for using the service, prior to making a booking:

1. The free booked cleanup service is for residential properties only within the Marrickville Council Local Government Area. This service is not available for businesses.
    
2. In any one type of collection, Council will take up to 2 cubic metres of material, which is equivalent to a small box trailer load. Any more than this and Council will provide you with a quotation to remove the materials.
    
3. Always put material for collection OUTSIDE the property on the nature strip or verge. Material must be placed neatly and close to the gutter. It must be placed so as to NOT obstruct pedestrian access. For any one booking, items must be placed either out the front of the property or in the rear lane and not both. Material must not obstruct your letterbox.
    
4. Materials should only be placed out the night before the collection date.
    
5. The Green waste collection should only be booked for bulk green waste that does not fit into your green waste bin. Please note that a green waste bin is provided free of charge to every household. Requirements are that branches should not exceed 15cm in diameter and need to be cut in 1.0 metre bundled lengths. All tree branches must be bundled and tied to be collected. Materials larger than this such as stumps and mature branches will not be accepted.
    
6. Mattress Recycling: For a period of 12 months from Monday 2 November 2009 to Friday 29 October 2010, Marrickville Council will be taking part in a mattress recycling initiative in conjunction with Dreamsafe. Dreamsafe will collect, clean and redistribute mattresses to charity (as first priority), recycling them as a last resort. When booking a mattress collection please specify in the description of waste the number of mattresses you would like us to collect and from what location- front, rear or side of your property.
